Some of you need to realize that, back in 2007 when the hiring frenzy was going on, me in that frenzy (RAH), there was a national shortage of CFI's. Well, when the ****** hit the fan with furloughs, all those pilots, at least a vast majority of them went back to their former CFI jobs. I did not stay at RAH, hated it, another story. I have been a CFI for 34 years (part-time), and have seen the ups and downs in the industry. Hold on, it will come back around again!
