For people who are FI/airline pilot

Hey Guys,

I heard a lot of things about the FI job... bad and good things.

My goal is to become an airline pilot, but at the moment I am seriously considering the FIC to get more experience. I finished my CPL/IR but I do not fly because of lack of money...the FI route seems to be the best choice if we love flying and sharing passion I think.

Well, I am wondering when I must stop the FI job to apply for a company ??

I mean, some pleople say : with 3000 hours of single engine, companies do not recruit you because you developped bad habits... (what kind of bad habbits ?)

question : is that really true ?

IF it is true, does it count a little bit more to be FI/IRI on multi engine like PA34/DA42... in a FTO by instance ?

thank you very much

VNA
