Time building in Phoenix (KDVT)

I am currently a CFI at KDVT (600TT need 1,000TT) and am looking for opportunities to fly more. If anyone knows of any in the area, knows someone or wants to rent together let me know! Im mostly worried about multi time and cross country time so multi engine flying opportunities would be appreciated!

Love it! Everyday is flyable. The airport is challenging and VERY busy (17th busiest in the country) so it makes you a better pilot and also helps your ATC skills a lot! I work at Westwind Aviation. Great school, very friendly staff. Pay is quite a step up from my previous flight school in Ohio as well.

I can’t work both flight instructing and tours at the same time unfortunately. From what I heard they don’t get as much flight time as the instructors do and the instructors make a little more

When I was one of the Assistant Chief Flight Instuctors at Westwind from 2000-2004, I worked flight instructing during the weekdays and did their charter department flying the Caravan’s on the weekend. They won’t let you do that? I did it just fine and racked up a ton of time!
