Apply to Boeing Employees Flying Association as a CFI. The students write a check directly into the name of the CFI. I was a student there and writing a check to my instructor for $40 per hour. They had full schedules at that time. So think about it. 7 hour days 5 days a week, is 35 hours at $40 per hour, $1,400 per week, $6,000 per month.

I also am from Seattle. Reserve sheriff deputy, corrections officer, and a then a UPS delivery driver in Everett for 2 years. Something you want to look into, if you need medical insurance for your family. Is to be a part-time package handler for UPS. They promote from within. Package delivery driver was a lot of fun and after 30 months seniority you will make $72K. For package handling, their always hiring and their very welcome to your schedule. Pay is low but the medical benefits you get are the same as a full time package delivery driver. Its amazing. Pays 90% of everything. No copay. We had a driver that had a new born that had complications, medical bill was something like $30K, and they picked up the bill 100%. UPS is a great company, I left to get my PIC ME time and wanting to go back.

Its a tough career and we take a TON of sacrifices for it. So many people would take a job as a pilot so we give up a lot and the companies dont have to have incentives cus pilots will continue to love to fly.

Good luck man. I've recently realized the strength of love and leaving my employer also.
