I agree with the sentiments expressed above
Dont give up the day job as instructing doesn't pay enough
There is no apparant shortage of Instructors
I think that the relevance of 'FI' ing to airline work is overplayed particularly
after say 1000 hours - this is because
most instructing is ab-initio and VFR/SE and the airlines need IFR ME.
'Just' need a Multi IR Instructor rating!
Its all a matter of supply and demand
There about 400 pilots with UK CPL/IRs
created every year
This was true until last year when it
was reduced by 1/2 due CAA JAR implementation
Thats a lot of supply...
