G'day all!

I'm in a similar position and was going to ask the same question!

I have a fATPL but have just completed the FI course.
I am doing instructing on a part time basis but need another job (for the money!!) but i wasn't sure if i should just bite the bullet and instruct full time and rack up a good few hours or to try and get a job with airline either on the ground or as cabin crew.

One of the problems that i have come across is an awful lot of 'wannabe-an-airline-pilot' instructors have been 'stuck' instructing for years and gained perhaps too many of the wrong type of hours (ie 2000-2500hrs in SEP aircraft). They now find it hard to move on to the airlines.

Any further advice would be most welcome!!

Cheers!
BB.
