As for AirWillie, he mentions instructing. I mentioned before, I dont want to instruct because I know there would be no joy out of it for me. No joy out of it means no joy for the students I teach. Instructors should be doing it because the passion is there, not because theyre 'lazy'; theyre the ones who are trying to get the younger ones enthused. Ive ran into a few instructors who were just in it for the hours...times like those I really thought about taking the ATC track...
I did enjoy instructing, but even if you're not too exicited about it, you will learn a great deal. Consider it the next phase of YOUR training, cuz that's what it is. Remember, when you become an airline captain you are an instructor by definition...there are regional FO's who can't talk on the radio or do x-wind landings to save their lives (and 52 others) A little cfi experience comes in handy then!
