Do the airlines care if you were a CFI?
Would someone who met all the requirements for an airline (regional) but didn't hold any type of CFI rating be at a disadvantage? I'm asking because I have the option of being a CFI or building a lot of multi time for around the same price. Would having several hundred hours of single engine CFI hours be worth more to the airlines than the same amount of multi hours hauling cargo? How about when I get ready to move from a regional to a major? Would the majors have a problem with the fact that I didn't CFI or would it be OK if I had the proper amount of hours? I would love to hear from those of you who went each route. Sorry for those of you who saw my other post... I just felt like I could word the thread better.
Thanks, |

Thanks, The actual flight time you are talking about would be good, but if you PAY for the privilege of doing a job that SHOULD be performed by a qualified, paid pilot many folks in this industry will think you are scum (including me). It might bite you in the @ss on future job hunts if the interviewer doesn't like buy-a-job people (or it might not...do you feel lucky?). |
Take your time, this industry ain't goin' anywhere soon.
