Got my CFI-II so i could instruct, it was before the hiring boom took off like crazy. Renewed it with my ATP and Captain responsibilities, and am glad i did. Not that i want to go back to being a CFI, however, i'm looking for a way out of the industry, and if things work out the way they are, a CFI'ing on weekends job might be more than enough to get my taste of aviation....It's either that, or join a flying club...But we'll see which one wins out.
