Well I think the word is out. I have a few friends that are still instructing or know a couple of people at the local airport and they have very negative perceptions about the airlines, particularly the regionals and most of them are true. Except for the one where they think RJ FOs just do the radios....., that is not true. There's A LOT of interest towards pt91/pt135 flying, of course the jury is still out on what they would actually do if a shinny airliner is dangled in front of them. I also stand by my crack analogy.

Seems a little oxymoronic to me. But I agree with you about the luck.
In addition to persistence, a successful airline career requires two things:
- Enough skill to meet the minimum standard.
- Enough luck to land you at the right company at the right time.

7 Days a week! I'm lucky if I see that many students in a week. Being a CFI can be tough, but being a CFI with out students isn't very fun...

i agree with you. its no fun with no students. Im in a good area where the recession hasnt really hit hard. People are still flying and wanting to fly. i know some CFIs would love to be where im at right now. and dont get me wrong, im not complaining that i work 7 days a week. i enjoy doing what i do very much.
