i dont feel sorry for those that who missed that experience
You got hosed Jimmy, you got hosed...
I had a great time CFIing, made more money than I do as a first year FO and met tons of guys who are now at various places throughout the industry and worked for some great people. CFI jobs are just like regional jobs. There are great ones and there are nightmares. You gotta do your research and be informed about what you're getting into. If you don't do your research and take the first thing to come down the pike then you better be real lucky or have a large stockpile of lube
