It’s not easy to be a CFI, it sure is easy to throw gear part 135 and claim you’re better than the teachers cause you weren’t good enough yourself.
As a cadet, you don’t get paid, you don’t get benefits, you don’t even have access to SWOL and you DEFINITELY aren’t “in line” for job.
Cadets are not interviewed and do not get a CJO.
My friend, you are not in line.
This means you don’t have a seniority number.
A prior 121 pilot is going to be a much safer bet to hire than an off the street CFI as they already have a record of passing a 121 ride as well as the experience in a 121 environment.
