Let me preface my post by saying I read only the original post and not the remaining 42 others, so I may be repeating what others have said.

Every so often (and it seems to get alarmingly more frequent) someone comes to this board and rants about something. This rant appears to be a disjointed discourse on why Hondata doesn't want to be a CFI and would like to go straight into a flying job. Well, I say that if you have the aptitude to do that, then that's what you should do! Whether any flying outfit will hire you is a different matter.

You remind me a lot of this young lawyer who wanted to volunteer at my law firm. Back then, my clients were all low income or vulnerable. It was obvious this young man was more interested in being in-house counsel or some corporate law type. I gave him plenty of chances until the day he described our clients in a most disparaging way. I did not hesitate to kick him out the door. My only regret was that I taught him a lot about evidence, civil procedure, and trial skills. He didn't belong in legal services.

My CFI gave up a good non-aviation career because he loved to fly and loved to teach. If you don't want to go the CFI route, don't. Just try to refrain from making any more disparaging remarks. It doesn't reflect well on yourself.
