I do have reservations about taking this route, namely that you could end up too comfortable working and instructing part time, meaning that you never make the leap to the airlines due to the risk factor.
Dare I ask out of interests sake: the problem with being too comfortable with a particular lifestyle would be what?
These days the airline job isn't necessarily the nirvana some people paint it to be.
