illinipilot, i am just curious, did you graduate from U of I with a degree in Aviation Human Factors, i did in May and now i am CFIing in phoenix and in about 3 months will pass the 1000 and 100. just to let you know if you want to CFI here, i am averaging 120 hours and month (just got Multi students) and it is the exact same fleet as U of I. Plus they will give you two free CFI ratings if you work for them.
