Just wanted to thank EVERYBODY who posted on this thread. I've heard many different opinions, some what I wanted to hear and others that I was hoping no one would say. Anyhow, I've taken everything to thought, and came to this conclusion.

Get CFI next month (then CFII and MEI)
Instruct for about 15 months (till I turn 21)
Get at least A.S before 21
Apply for decent regional at 21 (should have exp as flight instructor, and A.S)
Work on B.S. and fly right seat.

That seems to be my career path from now till then. I've never realized how being a CFI is more than just a time builder, but listening to all of you made me think otherwise.

Once again I want to thank everyone who posted on this thread.

1 last question and I'm done....

I have 2 apps out right now, 1 at GLA and 1 at Colgan. Even assuming one calls me for an interview, do I turn it down being I have my goals set???
