Default Trident Aircraft

Anyone have any info on Trident Aircraft in Easton MD? Saw an add that they looking for a bunch of CFI's for the summer for a military contract with the Naval Academy, and that they provide housing as well. Was wondering if anyone has worked the summer contract for them, seems like a pretty decent gig?

Oh buddy, it's your lucky day. I just so happen to be there the day when the navy contract was awarded to Trident in 2014. I will be short and sweet with this since I went through the steps and have the "been there, done that" badge.
These are THE BEST students any CFI will have. These students are in the Naval academy of Annapolis. Highly dedicated, hard working induviduals. All English speaking Americans!!!
There are 4 "waves" of students that come in may and end around September. You will fly in C172's and Piper Warriors of various models and years. Great way to build the time! I forget about the pay, maybe $15+ an hour was it?
My personal advice to you or anyone reading this: get in, dedicate your entire summer and fly your a$$ off, rack up the hours in the logbook, then GET THE HELL OUT!! DO NOT STAY after the program is over with. That was my mistake and I paid for it dearly.
Best of luck to you.
