There's an interesting thread in Wannabes's - Jobs, Interviews etc; "wot the f's happening in Scotland" that seems to suggest that the days of hour building FI's are soon to be over, as the regional TP's are ignoring the local experienced FI's for 200 hr integrated types.
If this is really the case, then almost overnight the supply of frozen ATPL's wanting to instruct to get hours is going to vanish. Why hour build for 12-18 months on simple SE when the airline is only interested in your youth and graduation from Cabair/OAT?
Appalling for modular people, but the small bit of good news is that the dearth of new instructors will force wages up and may make career instructing more viable.
ps I have an axe to grind on the subject (career instructing & decent wages). So read my post with that in mind!
