hi
first of all bombardier,you're not my mate! and secondly i didn't know you were an expert on Crew Recource Management! Or maybe you're not. Or maybe you're joking! Who knows!
I don't mean to insult you, maybe you're a nice guy (with a complex). I'm just going from what i'm reading on your posts,which you have not defended!
Don't worry, i'd not be so blunt on the flight deck, but once the aircraft lands i am free to speak my mind, just like anyone else!
Hi simplifire. There are cheaper ways to becoming a commercial pilot, but its normally the long way! There are a shortage of intructors, certainly in UK, and possibly in the states and elsewhere. You don't need your IR to instruct PPL students, only a CPL and FI rating. I completed my PPL with a school in the states and they organise a visa that allows you to work as an FI for about 6 months. In that time you can build some experience and make some contacts. If you want more details then PM me...
