OK, that worked. Made a fake name account on Flickr for posting photos to public message boards. Had to edit this post a number of times to get it right.
Question for a pilot looking to start building time as a CFI in a few months. Assume that pilot makes it to a regional in January of 2020. Then, assume generously that this pilot is marketable to the majors 5 or 6 years later. Doesn’t that put him on the BACK end of the hiring curve, with only a few years of real movement up the list before stagnation?
Essentially, I’m just wondering whether as great as things are now for folks already flying 121, it’s too late if you’re just now looking to start...
