FI training in today's situation
Hello,
I have saved just enough for an FI training, and considering obtaining it.
I would gladly instruct, in fact, looking forward to it, for the extra experience not just for time building.
But I have my doubts. The only certain thing about the whole deal is that I will have additional 30 hours of TT, with no guarantees of actually getting the opportunity to instruct (let's be honest, is there even a market for 240 h TT FI in central/south/southeast Europe...).
The other option would be to continue saving money in case of being offered position in an airline with having to pay for type rating (paying for line training too would never be an option for me, unless it was at a really low impossible price)...
If I did the FI course, I can pretty much forget about having enough for a type rating if the opportunity ever came up...
Would like to hear some opinions if you are willing to share.
Thanks
