Hi all,

Here is my story. 40 years old, working on CFI and only have 300 hours. I own a construction company that has offices in a few states (160 nm) and I also practice law sometimes. I have always wanted to fly for an airline and I am finally in a position to do so. I know I will never make it to the majors and that is fine. I was thinking about buying a 152/172 to commute to my other office and to build time, but my club has a nice 152 for $70 wet and 172 for $90 wet. Would the airlines look down on logging the 1,200 or so hours via paying for them? I plan on teaching some, but I do not think I will have the time to teach primary students; it wouldn't be fair to my students. Opinions? Fortunatly my wife can run the business so I will have a nice income while I fly. Thanks all.
