CFI vs. Banner Towing
I'm in a predicament...I'm happy being a flight instructor and I enjoy the challenges it presents, however, I'm not sure with the state of the industry/cost of fuel etc. that business is going to be consistant. I've been offered a job as a 'traveling' banner tower, where I'll be pulling in a constant salary, as well as rack up lots of hours. My predicament is wondering whether to take job. When I'm flight instructing I make more per hour, but my hours are limited to the student, as well as the winter. If I take the job towing banners, I'll make less per hour, but I'll get more hours.
Do the airlines give preference? I've heard the argument that some dont count banner towing a valid way of time building.
What do you guys think?
