Re: Flying Instructor or Airline Pilot????
Very different here in the UK Dnathan
You don't need an instrument rating to instruct, in fact most instructors don't have one.
You can't just go and do an ME instructor rating either, I believe the minimum requirement to even sit the multi instructor flight test is 100 hours multi PIC (and who's going to buy THAT at £350ish per hour just so they can instruct?) Multi instructing seems to be pretty much the domain of crusty old ex- airline pilots over here.
