I’ve said it before, three years from now you could be either a:
- CFI instructing to build time and be debt free or
- Regional pilot with $60-$70k in debt a $1000 car and a credit score so bad you can’t even rent an apartment.
Add a girlfriend with a kid right when the market tanks and a furlough.....
Making it dark enough for you?

Nationwide 70% of people that start with Private pilot training do not finish
That’s a huge number and a major source of headache for flight schools.
Part of those for financial reasons, already with the Private.
They don’t even have their poop together for the first rating let alone be financially responsible enough to get to their CPL/CFI.
Now it’s 6 days/wk for two years (1250hrs) making $25k/year.....
You really can’t afford a $60k debt.
Now consider people that work their way through college.
If they can do it so can you.
Except you’re planning to be at 1500hrs and ATP in 4 years, maybe sooner.

Flightsafety Academy in Vero Beach will cover for commercial pilot multi/ and single engine add on. CFI, CFI-I AND CFI-MEI. This in exchange for a 2 year commitment to work there as an instructor. You basically only have to pay for private pilot and instrument rating. Message me if you have any questions.
Hello,
Are they still offering this kind of sponsorship? and do they do it for foreigners !
Thank you

Hey I'm a commercial holder with initial MEI and SE Add-On with a TT of 255 hours.
I would like how the sponsorship on the CFI initial works on Vero Beach.
Also I am done with FIA/FOI.
