Been instructing for 3+ years and at close to 2500 TT, but just under 50 multi. Having a heck of a time building multi, as I can't go further into debt paying for it. Trying to beg, borrow, steal has only taken me so far.
Frustrating as the CFI's that left for the regionals before I started got hired on with almost non-existent multi time.
Also VERY frustrating to see some regionals hiring guys just out of school with barely 300 hrs.
Depressing to read all the negative comments in these forums about CFI time being next to worthless. I definitely feel that I am a much stronger pilot today after all of the varied situations/weather I've been through than at 300 hrs.
So yeah, the multi time req.s need to come down before these so called half-filled classes get more new meat.
