Hi guys!,


I'm swimming in a sea of doubts. I'm a JAA pilot (Frozen ATPL) + Green Card, with around 400h. In a few months I'll move to USA, and i'll get my FAA CPL, IR, etc....

I know that step is clear. The problem is after that, and knowing that the 1.500h "rule" that will start in Aug '13 (i think). So the big doubt is, what should be the best option due to my profile and the circumstances. Should I get all my flight instructor certificates and earn the experience needed there (with luck), or should i try to find a job in GA in spite of the CFI option.

I DO respect a lot the CFI job and its responsability, and how they will influence in the aeronautical life of the students. That's why I think about my possible instruction skills. I know I can fly, and I manage the every situation the best I can, studying more, trying to practice the whole time, etc....but teaching must be quite different. Something that worries me is is my mother tongue, wich is not english as you probably guess because of my mistakes hahha

So that's the dilemma. Do i choose the CFI way, or do I try to fight in the GA world. Both difficults and respectable of course


Thanks for your help, any advice will be wellcome.
