That's me! I quit my CFI gig in May of '04 with 1,300 tt. I was really frustrated and it seemed pointless to continue. I searched the FAA database and discovered that many of my felllow instructors and my students as well are with the regionals. Most are captains and one, I thnk, is with FedEx.
I spend alot of time kicking myself (but not too hard because I make more than any of them).
