It should. They say it helps if you're a CFII.

Time wise, I'm right there with you guys. 800tt, 100 multi with around 100 instrument (80 is sim inst) and 100 g1000.

I have my FIA written done and just need to get off my butt and finish CFII. My school doesn't do a lot of instrument training so it hadn't been worth the investment to get it until now.

If you still need to do your written, I used Sheppard Air to study. I think I spend 3 days studying and just about aced the test. It's worth the $40 or whatever it costs.

Yeah I used that for my Cfi and it was slick.
For those with your cfii what did you use for a curriculum to study?
My initial instrument was 2 years ago and it was terrible. I knew enough to pass but not nearly enough to instruct. Any suggestions?

I know a guy who got hired with less time than me and no CFII. So i'm sure it definitely helps but luckily its not a deal breaker.

I havent really done a ton of instrument in over a year, so just taking the application exam was a HUGE refresher. It all comes back very quickly though!

That test was great but some questions I felt were better suited for an oral test.
Such as "would you fly the guy to his destination with these weather conditions..."

Hopefully we hear something soon.
What base will you guys go to?

MCO here. I live in Orlando so it might not just be about time building for me. I might make this a lifetime career if the company is as great as it sounds!
