Flight instructing isn't for everyone. Although it is still something I want to get for a personal goal and then I might instruct on the side or something. If you don't want to instruct then don't. It will only provide negative experience to the students that you teach. I know great pilots who aren't CFI's, but it's all on what YOU want to do. Just try and get paid to actually fly and not the other way around.

The last two, yeah, you can log away, but most likely you are still in violation of insurance policies. Yeah, the FAA doesn't care about that, but it's not very nice to the person (PIC and/or operator) whom effectively self-insures while letting you fly (or giving dual). And it always requires such an explanation down the road when the logbook is reviewed.
In fact this is the main reason I'm getting through the insurance-approved KA initial.

Thanks for the CFI route suggestion. With all due respect, I would rather not engage in the argument CFI-for-time-building vs. other-time-building, to me is sort of single vs. twin debate. Defensible positions and decent people on both sides.
As extra background, my aviation track is not airline-focused, but rather business/corporate. The ATP would be "nice to have" down the road, is required for jets under 91K & 135 PIC and for 10+ seaters under 135. I understand, of course, the difference between paper qualifications and actual minimums etc.
CFI is still an option, and I'll make that call within a month or so. But I'd like to make sure I exhausted all other alternatives.

If you were closer to Ohio, I might have to take you up on it.
I have a PA-38 that I'm considering doing the same kind of thing in for a few hundred hours. It's got the same engine as the C152. And my operating costs are probably about $50 BEFORE splitting it in half--as long as fuel doesn't go up too much!
If anyone is interested, PM me...

I sent a message to ATP073116 but it seems like he hasn't replied to I will extend it to everyone else. I am trying to build 50-100 hours in SF.
