I agree with this as I have debated applying to Colgan the past week or so. After the furlough I was able to find a full time CFI gig that pays much better than Colgan. I've been working on my ATP times (need the X-C! plenty of TT) and told myself I wouldn't leave for another regional w/o the ATP. Now that Colgan and Eagle are hiring I'm debating getting out of instructing again to resume building something other than SE piston time. After getting burned with the Comair boom-bust hiring of 08 I'm very leary to leave a good job only to get burned again. Most likely I remain instructing for another year to get my ATP and look for other options to continue my career should I still remain furloughed, which is very likely as I'm very low on the recall list.
