I have. The biggest problem is finding cheap time-building between ratings. Yes I've checked into ATP

Get a CFI job with ATP - you'll log good ME time and be more competitive for regionals.

Do they hire a lot of outside guys who didn't train with them? The problem I see with companies like ATP and pan am etc. are teaching huge blocks of foreign students who don't understand english. One of my old cfis just left pan am to go back to his job that paid half as much because he found it too stressful to be saying "go around!!" and not having his student understand what he means.

I believe most of the students at ATP are American / North American. Language won't be a problem.

There are lots of flying jobs outside of the regionals that will support your needs. There's a couple medevac companies in your area. Part 135 doesn't top the pay scale, but you can fly for a living and have a home life.

Hard to find a place that pays half of what ATP does. Their CFIs make roughly $6/hr (expected to be at the airport pretty much all the time, with or without students. Divide $1200/mo over a 50 hour workweek and its not so attractive). But we've been down this road before and I don't want to **** off any ATP lovers out there...
