What would you do?
I have a few options presenting themselves now and I don't know what to do. But options are good!
Option #1
Once I get 120hrs given instruction I was contacted by a man to teach students how to fly in China. It's a 14month contract that pays 2k a month. For a CFI that's good money let alone in a country where the american dollar stretches more. Also it is tax free, housing and bills paid for, and uniforms paid for. They pay for your flight there and flight back. The only thing I'd have to do is buy my own food.
The downside is that you will be gone for the full 14months. You are given 10 sick days. If you decide to do another rotation they negotiate your pay increase but you are guaranteed at least 30k. They give you 4 students that you are responsible for taking from their private to their commercial multi.
Option #2
Stay in Texas and be a CFI making less yet having the ability to go home every once in a while.
Option #3
There is a company that is hiring and I meet their requirements. However the job would be as SIC on a cessna 208 caravan in Hawaii. I can only imagine they don't pay much. However they said once you approach part 135 mins they'd then get you over as PIC.
My thoughts on that last part hover around the idea that right now in my life I should try and get as much PIC as needed no? So hopping over to do an SIC job wouldn't really help me much right?
