well said luke.....i endorse the flight instructor route,start hour building and keep banging out the cvs.....a turboprob position will become available when you accrue a few hundred hours of instructor time...oh and complaining of spending 40 grand on your flight training,i feel you got off very lightly,so the 3 grand for your instructors rating will be well invested...good luck and don't get disheartened,it's a career of ups and downs,literally !
