Yep I think I'll put that on the backburner for now especially as it seemingly has no bearing on getting that first single engine VFR job.
Example of my stude who finished Day VFR single 200 hour course with me, come out with 130 in command; two years later he's done six months of joy flights, one season of fire spotting and then survey work. 800 hours command time in two years and just done his ME and IFR and ATPL subjects, now going for airline interviews, he will be a captain long long before the ones who come out of flying school with 70 hours in command, no matter how many qualifications they have or how quickly they get into a RHS. And this is the thing, how many years do you want to spend as an FO?
Wow, maybe I should've done my training with you.. bit late now though. I'll send you a private message if you don't mind.
