[QUOTE=mattyj;10750126]Sorry for sidetrack but for the 2000 hour FO/cadets out there, how’s about taking this time to go back to GA and do a little real flying..maybe do an instructor rating and pass on some of your knowledge? If there’s any money in your account then going on some cross country missions in a light plane is an awesome way to spend a nice afternoon..and it might keep some aeroclubs out of insolvency.[/QUOTE
This must be one of the most out of touch comments I’ve seen on pprune. You really think at this time there’s going to be an abundance of student PPL’s or schools desperate for instructors! GA flying is a luxury and let’s face it you could probably earn more driving a multi drop delivery van than instructing PPL’s. The 2000hr guys will likely have training loans to repay/mortgage kids etc.
Saying your going off to do an hour in a c152 is a waste of money, if money is tight for a recently made redundant FO. Would be better saving the money to keep your rating current in the sim.
