Would those of you that are captains say that there is a significant difference between the FOs that come in with and without their CFI?
I ask because my first concern is being a safe and competent pilot.
All my private instructor did was read word for word straight out of the brown jepp book. I could've have done that at home! What a total waste of money. Don't become an instructor if you are not 100% into it. There are other ways to build time and gain valuable experience prior to applying to the regionals. (just might take a little longer)
