Getting Tossed into Anchorage
Hi all, long time reader of APF, but first time I'm starting a thread. Seeking advise about a move that I'm making. My g/f has moved to Alaska and I'm slated to take the plunge join her in November. I have a Comm-Multi-Inst, but have been working outside of Aviation and just flying on the side the past couple of years. I want to get my CFI and CFI-I, but there are two things I'm wondering. First, whether I should get it in the lower 48 or somewhere in the Wisconsin/Minnesota area where I currently reside or should I get it in Alaska keeping in mind that I'll be moving up there during winter. Second, is there as much of a demand for CFI's in Alaska as the lower 48. I know several spots where I should land a position here in the Midwest, but I'm not too sure about Alaska. I really don't seek to become a bush pilot up there, my real desire is to teach and instruct. Thanks for any advise given!
