BTFU! It's funny you mention flying checks, because in our transport ops class last week (still Don Petrin, btw) the recruiting director from AirNet came and talked to us about their pilot openings. Interesting gig, don't think it's for me though.
Instructing is the most enjoyable flying I have done (besides the King Air time, course!) and I think doing it full time for a year after graduation would be great experience.
BoilerWings, any advice about whether to stay in the Lafayette area to instruct?
