Thanks BT. I'm former Indy currently teaching at a 142 school (the very expensive type-rating one). Interestingly enough I was the high time guy at the interview and am already typed in the 200. I really felt relaxed at the interview and thought they did a nice job. At the end of that week I received a call for an interview in FEB that made me feel really BLUE, so I owe it to myself to give that opportunity a chance. As a result, I told them I could not take a feb class. I asked to be rolled to March but my wife is proving difficult to convince given the first year is close to 1/3 of my present salary. In the last two years instructing job has turned into a miserable dead end road to nowhere. As a result, I'm trying to bail. My issue is recency. I've flown 25-50 hours a year for the last 3 years. Even contract work (also typed in the Challenger 604 and Gulfstream IV) is tough to come by without recency.
