To the OP. During the height of the shortage a LOT of instructors were out to put hours in their logbook. That was it. No intention of being a CFI beyond getting the airline job. It was a means to an end. The system was set up to bring in less than stellar instructors simply because they were forced down that route as the only reasonably economic way to get to 1500 outside of the military and Uncle Sugars deep pockets. I agree you should get your PPL and IMHO instrument as well. Now all that said post Covid I can't begin to guess what the airline industry looks like in 5 months much less 5 years down the road. The business travel segment is a big part of profitability under the old business model and how much comes back is up for spirited debate. Arguably everyone is an LCC for now and that likely will have a long term effect on wages throughout the aviation industry. Good luck.
