Can one even make more outside of employment here…one for one? On three year pay, a days work plus 401 is almost a grand, double that for a GS. I don’t do anything outside of Delta for this reason. I thought about jumping back into things like CFIing and etc. but turning down $2k for $40 just doesn’t make sense.

Neither does the risk of you or a student doing something dumb in a 172 for $40/hr.

This career is not worth jeopardizing to be a CFI.

it’s pretty unlikely that your ATP will be pulled for anything a student does. We risk our life/careers for all kinds of things: waterskiing on a holiday weekend, riding a motorcycle, flying an RV4, etc.. if someone gets fulfillment from doing GA things, more power to them

I couldn’t agree more. I also encourage people to ride motorcycles, hang glide, imbibe with abandon and stick to fast food for sustenance.

Longer???

I’m definitely not here to tell anyone how to live their lives or spend their money - we’ve got enough of that here and in the cockpit. My personal risk profile revolves around my kids. As they age and gain less from a father’s presence, I’ll dial things up a bit.

In the mean time, all y’all need to live it up!

quality > length. Being a CFI on the side for the personal fulfillment is incredibly unlikely to bring about the end of your ability to care for kids

I am not sure if that includes things like hotels and fuel for which he collects points and expenses to the owners.
