So a little update.

CFI checkride is scheduled for next week. Will probably do CFII right after. So I do plan on teaching, not sure if I want to go to a local school with a few students, or teach in my own plane or a rental as an independent cfi.

I still think splitting time in my plane doing long cross countries is going to be the way to gain the most hours quickly per day.

I talked to recruiting at NGPA. They said get started with the pilot pathway program now and start asking about taking the next step when I am about 4 months away from being qualified.
