No.
Also, you do not need ATPS to get to the regionals anymore, American Eagle, terrible example, is hiring 600/100. You could easily get on at Trans States or Mesa with bare minimum commercial multi instrument, and half a brain, without ever stepping into a big flying school.

i work at Pan Am (in Phoenix), there is 2500 signing bonus and up to 50000 salary, the contract for the ratings is for one year. They need pilots badly, thus all the incentives. The interview is easy all you have to do is explain a maneuver and then a sim ride with 2 approaches. There is currently six of us from UofI instructing their.

yes they pay for both and you could get a CRJ lvl 5 sim course for free to prepare you for the airlines. yea i like working here because the pay is good and i have about 800 total hours after working here for 4 months. Pan Am teaches American, chinese, and korean students.

Up to $50,000 to flight instruct. I find that hard to believe, unless you are instructing military pilots for their private rating. Have fun when you leave that and go to a regional. You will take a 50% pay cut. Do they have some bonuses for checkride passes? Is it taxed or are you an independent contractor. If you are an independent contractor, u will pay alot in taxes come April.

yea up to 50k most people are alittle below that, yea i am not looking forward to that pay cut, and the bonuses are taxed. With the regionals lowering their mins the only way big flight schools can keep their instructors longer is raising their wages.
