Sorry I didn't mean to come across as thinking I was too good to be a CFI. I'm instructing right now and I have several hundred hours of dual given already (most of it from before my regional job and subsequent furlough). I was just stating a fact that I would need to get a couple hundred more to get to the ATP mins or else possibly lose my recall rights. I'm not sure if I'll get there before this bill gets passed given the state of the economy, but that's life.
