Would a fresh flight instructor with 1500 hours and a CRJ type even be looked at? I understand the risk of this job and why that would turn many off, but I know a lot of pilots that are struggling pretty hard with $50-100k of training debt. A position similar to this one could easily get them out of debt in one year. Fly two and set yourself up for some comfort savings to handle the Regional lifestyle and pay for a few years. Intriguing it is.
