Was really hoping that with the hiring that was going on it was going to keep up for another year and a half or so.
Keep your nose clean, try to get some turbine time if you can, keep plugging away at hours and have a degree if possible. Cadet programs can’t hurt as long as there’s no commitment. CFI’s with degrees are still getting hired at desirable regionals, but you can’t half-ass the interview or explain away 4 checkride failures like you could at some less desirable regionals.
