My schedule for the airline works out well with my own training. Every day I work I get a day off. When it comes to CFI work it wouldn't be quite as ideal. I have Sunday off each week so little or no time in the book that day. It's possible that I only log 10-15 hours per week. Hiring is picking up and 2012 seems like the time to be ready and applying. Do you think it would be a wrong move to introduce myself to the Chief Pilot and ask his opinion? I see him on the ramp a few times a month.
