You havent even flown with more than 3 people aboard an airplane
Don't mean to bust your balls....but....

Thats why I never got my CFI.
Never believed that CFIing would teach you much past around 500 dual given.
Some people WILL disagree with me.....but...it's true.
I think operating in a 135/91 environment will prepare you more for the 121 world though.
Doing stalls all day long in a 172 won't.
Unless you're teaching lazy eights in an RJ

I can't disagree with you about the CFIing.
I do side with your about 91/135 experience but that's difficult to get if you don't have 1200hrs....At least at most places. Major kudos again for getting hired at 20. I would have jumped all over it if I had that opportunity at that age.
