Re: Flying Instructor or Airline Pilot????
Has your research covered the wages paid to flying instructors? PPL instruction is woefully bad in terms of cash. CPL/IR instruction is much better paid, but you will need an IR and ME to do this, plus a good level of experience with PPL instruction. So unless you can live on poor wages for 12-24 months, you might not want to spend the cash in the first place.
I would go straight for the ATPL exams, rather than the writtens for CPL and the IR.
