Simple question:

If the possibility of getting a job right after flight school doing tours exists, would it be better to take it and then get the CFI or it is alwys better to get the CFI first?

If we compare two pilots in a 5 year period. One having done CFI first and then tours, and the other vice versa. Would there be a difference in terms of flying abilities and experience?
In my experience (as a non-cfi) those entry-level tour companies (at least here in The States) still prefer to hire cfi's.

That said, if someone is offering you a job, take it. Jobs are few and far between these days.
