By the end of the course I was comfortable flying the plane, and knew the systems as in depth as I could at RAA.

I would have been perfectly fine working on the line with my time, however I am now 'Paying my (freak'n) dues' by flight instructing. My experience building time was all single pilot flying all over the US in busy airspace, with some solo ifr flying. Now that I'm teaching I just have to know everything better than I had before, and I don't get all the bravo/restricted airspace time. It is very interesting teaching but I still wish I actually went to class at Eagle.
