I was flying freight for a fedex feeder in the caribbean until my company decided to furlough us in feb. I am guessing that you work for Colgan.... and if that is true I had a similar work schedule/QOL... work five days a weeks, 14 hour duty days without fail, and low pay. I took my time after getting released to figure out where I wanted to go next and I think PSA is a winner.... wholly owned, decent pay, relatively short upgrade time, and if you don't mind DAY.... off reserve pretty quick.

It's a good thing they didn't ask you this in the interview, or something remotely similar and easy. You might have been given the look of, "JFC ARE YOU KIDDING ME?!?!"
Here, just randomly click on this Samuel L. Jackson soundboard for the standard responses you should hear if you asked this question in an interview.......

I have no clue. The Chief Flight Instructor told me I need it done and that the CFI Ride didn't count as one, and then I asked another CFI and they said the same thing. I think it has to do with the CFI being a Certification and not a pilots licenes.

At least ICAO is going to consider you a native speaker, and give you that proficient in English endorsement, defacto. Besides that, you are going to have to do some learning, and reading on your own, and not depend so much on what some moron running an itty bitty flight school tells you. In the matter of a pilots license. When have you ever received ANY PAPERWORK that said LICENSE. It's a CERTIFICATE. Welcome to the big boys club!
