I've got 1100 hrs froz ATPL. Currently now only instructing weekends and working in the city during the week. Tough graft but debts are manageable.
I'm part time instructing now primarily to keep current as I think I have enough SEP time!. Currently I'm trying to put some cash together for a different tactic. I'm considering various options... turbine rating?, multi CPL instructor?, or even type a rating?. I'm increasingly feeling that I need to do something else to break this status quo.
Each month I re-send out my CV or each time I hear a whisper from a buddy.
There is no single correct path... else everyone would take it.
Good luck all.
