I've been working for the airlines for several years now, and always had good intentions to keep up instructing, which ever materialzed. To be honest I decided not to, as especially after 9/11 I thought the last thing FIs at a local club would want is an off-duty airline pilot to come along, take some of their work, when they were looking at a long future in a C152. I know I would have felt frustrated in their position.
However reading these posts it looks like times are a-changing and the part-time instructor can work without upsetting too many people. Is it worth revalidating my FI rating? Is most of the work around ab-initio PPL stuff, or is it the qualified pilot looking to add ratings? Also where is the pleasant airfield in the West Midlands?
