The problem is I do teach students and I do it quite well. The problem is I don’t enjoy it anymore plus the company I am at restricts us CFIs to safety pilots since we are 141 and operate with Chinese students. We fly night cross countries where we are explicitly told not to teach and only to act if necessary to keep the flight safe. Depending on the student depends how much I am allowed to intervene. I understand what life at the airlines will be like. I just wasn’t sure if it was worth staying here and being a glorified safety pilot half the time or to go somewhere like cape air or plane sense and get better experience and enjoy it more. Thank you for all the replies.
