I can tell you Colgan will be one place where my resume goes, but if a jet job was offered, that would be the likely choice. I'm one of those kids (19) who isn't going to get a fast upgrade, so I will have to make my choice based upon what's best at the time. Once again, thanks for all the advice. That's a reason why I come here is to learn.
hey man I'm right there with ya. I just turned 20 and have been instructing since I was pretty young. Its been a year now and I know thats not long to some guys but I've burnt myself out as instructing goes as I've gotten almost 800 hours in the past 9 months, thats a lot of flying for a CFI. Anyway, I'm ready to move on, but as you said, we can't hope for a quick upgrade anywhere. A jet job would be great, but getting the chance to do some handflying for a while would be a good time too I suspect.
