I have also shot an ILS down to 2000 rvr and vv100 solo.

Now, I am not saying that I am ready for the airlines or not, but I do know that I have more actual than alot of instructors. I think quality of training is just as important as quantity, and I tried to squeeze the most out of every hour.

Would I take an airline job now if I could get one? Heck yeah. Im 45 grand in already.

Just trying to provide another viewpoint.
