Scroggs,
Thanks for your reply.
The hour building I mentioned refers to those hours required before CPL training. Nevertheless, I think your answer still applies.
After the CPL I intend to follow the instructor route as one way to build hours and experience. I hope that during this phase I can get involved in more advanced flight training for the various additional ratings. Eventually during this phase, I hope to do the IR and get involved in this type of training as well.
One other reason to chose this route is that I really like the idea to get paid to fly and I believe that there is a great deal of experience to gain from this sort of work. I also believe that this is pure aviation at its best …
Thanks for taking time to consider and think about whether this sort of support and/or guidance should be available through the mentoring scheme. This could be a nice topic to discuss during the December seminars.
