While I understand your point on not doing P2P. If for no other reason than the extra debt. Supply and demand is a fact of life in this country. Fortunately the market is turning in favor of pilots now and I see P2P will be less common as a result. That said as for the default answer of becoming a CFI to build time this means a lot of barely past students themselves are forced into becoming instructors and more than a few are less than stellar at instructing. Hell the military is p2p when you get down to it. Flight training in exchange for a 10 year ADSC.
