I'm in a very similar situation with a little over 500 hours CFI. I have a good job at american flyers in dallas so im not looking to leave that at all. I want so bad to jump into this thing for the experience and i would have a blast.... but im not so sure its the wisest for my desired career path. I might just do it for a hobby more than anything. I love aviation and anything aviation. The hardest part will be the 2 weeks of INDOC and ground school stuff and no pay.
I know this is probably a big no... but any shot that a regional might lower the multi time or TT if a guy has this kinda stuff on his resume? I mean it has to be worth something.... even an SIC type (which i know doesnt mean much) has to show the airline that i can handle this stuff and i have a leg up on most guys coming into the regionals. Am i right?
