Just thinking out loud, but if you are not sure on how to pay the bills working as a cfi, how do you plan on paying the bills riding along in some dudes plane for free??? Get your CFI, instruct and you will meet more than enough people to hitch rides with to log some time!!!

This is very true. You'll make a lot of valuable connections. If you're single, maybe consider taking a job with one of the busier flight schools in the country and moving for a year or so. I did it with a family and the pay is good enough to care for a my family and satisfy hobbies on the weekends. Picking up and trying life in a new location can be a good experience. As a professional pilot you'll likely have to face the beast of moving at least once in your career, and it doesn't have to be a bad thing.
If you decide you want to get serious about building some flight time and experience and get your career on track, PM me.

My wife and I have no problems with moving to further my career. I know that time will come. Getting my CFI sounds like the best option. Thank you all for the advice!

Just a Q: With these ride-alongs, I see lots of low-time pilots looking to share flight time, but how can both log the time in these small planes? I'm assuming one has to be a CFI and the other way is for one to wear a hood the whole time? Or is there some other way I have not been "taught"?
