My first day as a CFI was on... 9/11. I was replacing a guy who left for a regional a few days earlier. Had his class date been a few days later, no job for me. It was an interesting next few months trying to do engine out simulations with students without getting the cops called for an airplane that was "too low."
Back to widgetland... before things started backtracking in the economic downturn/merger synergies, there were 7 and 8 year upgrades to NYC M88 A. I thought that was just incredible. What we have going on now is absolutely amazing. Here's to it going as long as possible before airlines start airlining again.
That must have been horrific. CFI on 9/11. Oh the horror! The subsequent years must have been brutal for your airline plans.
