do u guys have a sim training facility nearby? I left the fracs to become an instructor. I find it enjoyable, and you don't need your cfi to be current, or need a ground instructor rating. after a while, you can probably find local contract work, etc. Just a suggestion. everyone on here feels it's either flying or a cubicle. not always the case. Oh, but I still have a cubicle but only spend about an hour a day in it. I never work in the middle of the night, and will match my qol with just about any good flying job. Sorry NJA, even you guys! Yes I miss flying sometimes, especially when talking about that flow increasing valve in ground school again, or telling a student in the sim to maintain pitch!
