Re: Flying Instructor or Airline Pilot????
Do the part time instructing for fun thing. Anything else will almost certainly require financial hardship and relocation possibly several times. Not easy with a family and a lifestyle to support.
There's nothing like becoming a professional pilot to knock the love of flying out of you. Its the best way to lose a wonderful hobby..
That said if you have an itch to scratch then you wouldn't be the first or oldest to embark on the mad mad journey to a flightdeck based career.
Good luck,
