i didnt say instructing is the reason i was screwed by the industry.....I was simply saying a lot of people making the negative comments who work for a regional got in with minimum hours and never did instruct. I was screwed because like many others, got a job at an outstanding regional, wait, two outstanding regionals. Eagle and Comair. and now im swimming in a pool. Everyone is bashing everybody else, but how about for those two great regionals who hired like madman and now are furloughing, how about for all the other companys furloughing? give me a break about bad management, it seems like EVERY regional airline has horrible management.
As to horrible pay and minimum days off per month, if you were a CFI then you know. I work 6 days a week, sometimes 7. Im at the school for 12 hours a day and get paid for 8. So its nothing new. And wouldn't we all love to have a starting pay of 40K and 15 days off per month.
