Of course my other downfall would be not being able to fly in IFR, die to the lack of a IMC/IR. But I'm sure if I did an IMC with the said school for around £2k that might be a better choice than trying to keep my MEP and IR current over maybe a 2 or 3 year period whilst working as a FI.
I'm still not 100% sure on the idea of working for an airline yet. I've heard all sorts of this forum with pros and cons to each job role, with bad management in the airlines forcing awkward rosters maybe I'd never want to run off to work for them? ... on the other hand would I kick myself if I didn't give it a shot?
Only time will tell.
Thanks
