It is a bonafide CFI as any other. Anyone can get a Commercial, Instrument, Multi given enough time and money; not really the case with becoming a flight instructor. BTW, What twin would you plan on using?

Thanks for the advice! I think it will definitely add something to a resume. It might make the difference in getting a call back or not.
I'd use a Piper Seneca, I have about 240 PIC hours in it.

I'm in the same position. Banner Towing, Jump Pilot, Sky diving, where ever you get a bite go for it. I wish low time pilots could deliver pizza or something like that VFR. There needs to be a better market for low time pilots.
