That frustrates me about Aviation as a career, is that you
Have to CFI to advance. Most any other career you
Don't teach as entry level, but you do it after years
Of life experience. A truck driver dose not teach for
His first job, he goes OTR. Why are there not more
Entry level jobs for a pilot? If you ask me, 135 cargo should
Be entry level. This career is frustrating as it is now, with the
1500 hour rule.
You have three of experience doing what?
I'm sure there are numerous times in your life that you didn't listen to you mother because you knew better right?
Why would you start now?
I agree with the CFI not necessarily being an entry level job, but were you so uninformed about the civilian aviation industry that you didn't know this?
