No I didnt. An FI Rating was another 10K and at that time I didnt see any use in that. The market was terrible. Flightschools werent able to to get students. At least not many.
Just doing FI rating was not going to do the job when no job is offered after doing the rating. The first 100 hours you are instructing under supervision. Not many schools did that so you would have another useless rating.
I decided to apply for FA job. If that would not work out I would even then have an back up plan. In meanwhile keeping MEP IR current.
