really? Who the heck has a MEI right away and who the heck has experience with international students even before they instructed??
My MEI was my first instructor cert followed by CFI-I and lastly CFI. I went ATP years ago and everyone did their MEI as an initial. I believe they are still doing it in that order.
Absolutely move somewhere in the southwest. Don't buy that "Sunny Florida" nonsense. Plenty of rainy days with t-storms passing through.
