Yeah, that's only in Firefox though I think - unless Microsoft caught on with the new IE.

ahah yeah if I was using Firefox I would have a spellcheck but my g/f computer is MIE

Got ya. I always go by the saying, "Work smarter not harder".

I go by the saying "get paid to work but don't work". Similar to yours. :D

That what I am doing today! Getting paid...and not working! Otherwise I would be doing checkrides and listening to student try to explain to me why magenta shading around an uncontrolled airport makes it a class E!

I also called it a certificate at the beginning of the paragraph. Doesn't make my argument incorrect. Like you said, both are certificates.

What the point should be is that of the case at hand it really doesn't matter. It's gray area left gray for a reason. Being a CFI doesn't hurt your 121 hours. It doesn't count as a commercial operation.

And foster asking a question about how to use a GPS doesn't count against credibility on other matters. If you asked something about a GPS and I gave an answer then you could shoot me.

One thing the FAA does know how to do, Create grey areas. That is why you get different answers from different FSDO's

See that's your opinion. You keep repeating the same thing over and over again "CFI time does not count toward your 121 limitation".

Yet I have called into question specific things you have said in this thread that aren't quite accurate. CFI "rating vs certificate". The "holding out" issue. Yet you just keep repeating the same thing over and over again.

I wasn't referring to that - in fact I almost posted a few times for people to lay off you, but stopped short when you kept trying to defend yourself instead of learning from it. I was referring to the things in this post. You're doing the same thing in this thread - instead of learning you just keep backing yourself into a corner.

Flight instruction is the only job you can get paid to do and it not be considered commercial flying. If it was you would be in violation of the limits placed on a commercial certificate. You would be "holding out" which can even be described as "general knowledge you are for hire". Call your local FSDO to ask.

Well you can get pait one other way.... that I know of. Who know's what it is? Hint:You can do it with only a private pilot.

I agree that nowhere in the regs does it address this issue in a crystal-clear manner. However...

In the 121 world the FAA POI's and the airlines seem to think that paid CFI work does count as commercial flying. Since they are the ones who write my checks and can violate me, I stick to their interpretation. :rolleyes:
