I would understand if Skywest had a program like this, but MESA? Shows that they are really after the money.
Sorry for so many replies to this thread, but the last sentence above really cracks me up. Just who the hell ISN'T after the money? This is one of the things that amazes me about complainers. And what precisely is wrong with going after the money? And who's to say how any individual should pursue their career. Frankly, being a CFI doesn't make sense to me, as I am not a teacher by nature. However, I certainly don't think it is my place to judge others who choose that route.
I wish everyone here the best in their career. The best thing many here could do is change their attitude. But frankly, the whiny and snively vibe here just isn't for me.
Carry on, as you were, and all that other stuff.
