Never did instructing. Decided way back when to not be like the 200hr warriors teaching me. And besides, l gave myself ample opportunity to die in a crash, without someone there to help me.
Thought about being a grade 3 in retirement, but that is now a past dream. Thanks China.
Sunfish is correct that airline flying has not much to bring to the table as far as basic flying skills is concerned.
Having said that, would my experience in GA doing all sorts of charter, meat-bombing, survey, Coastwatch, Air Ambulance, commuter, in all weather across the land bring anything to the table either? Probably not.
However, many an old airline operator would have plenty to offer with current or past GA experience.
Not all of us are short fused, grump, shouters.
