How much does ASA value CFI, and what if I do not have that at all but have 50 recent multi hours, and or take a crj transition course, and/or buy some sim time and/or buy some recent glass time? I have a decent paying job, college, and 390/25. If regional payscales go up like they are suspected to in the next year or two, or I were to lose my job, I would like to know what appeals to ASA and will get me an interview and increase my chances of success in ATR or CRJ training. I understand mins are 500/50 and in a short time I will have it but what among the above options will most likely seal the deal? I can get my CFI and am currently working on it, but where I am located right now there are no student pilots or flight schools.
