I work 6 days/40 hours a week, which can stretch depending on the student load. I fly corporate on my time off, and while its a full schedule, i have no intention of taking a 20 thousand buck pay cut to go work for the commuters. The over 21 crowd i went through the academy with who are now flying puddle jumpers are on food stamps. If you can get a decent CFI job, with sufficent time off to get turbine/jet time, its busy, but you can get to the majors without living on welfare for a couple of years.
