Regarding the FI route, all of you saying is good to go and become FI after finishing your CPL. My question to you guys are you happy paying €120k for training and be trained by unexperienced FI? You just can't see the bigger picture which is low training quality and potentially wrong airmanship mentality from the day one which will stay for the rest of the career. I had an option to go the FI route but I questioned my self if I was on the shoes of the trainee would it be fair. Most of the FI's they just fly to gain hours nothing personal just make my hours and who cares, if you choose the FI route you need to be passionate about the teaching and be patient. The moral of the above is don't be selfish. Happy landings.
