FI Rating or IR First ?
Hi All,
Maybe this issue has been done to death before, Like most i don't have bags of £££££££s and again like most i have a genuine passion for aviation but I’m not really sure if i should do a FI rating before the IR.
I know with an FI rating i can instruct for a while and stay in full time employment and earn a little extra which is a big plus point but i will only have enough £££££s to do one of them.
We have 3 years to get the CPL/IR done after the exams ? and I’ve got around 2 and half years left to get it all cracked off, anybody think that doing a Instructors rating first is the best bet ? I know an Instructors wage is not great and at the minute these jobs are a little bit full as well due to the current jobs market but at least i will earn something rather than just sit there with a new CPL/IR on the shelf.
Cheers
