Hours Building Job
Like every pilot my end state is a job with an airline, that being said I'm not in a massive rush to get to the jets. Ive wanted to enjoy my time flying, and there have been a few jobs I wanted to do before I get to that end state - instructing being high on my list. After spending some time in the flying game I feel I now have some experience I can impart on the students.
However, before I spend $15,000 on an instructor rating, I'm wondering how favourable the airlines look at S/E piston hours when hiring people ? Do they care what the hours in your logbook are, or is it a case of the more hours the better irrespective of what they are? I'd be keen to spend a couple of years instructing to build experience, SA, flying skills (and have some fun) before applying (hopefully as a better product!). I've also clocked up about 800 hours multi engine turbine.
I know it varies with supply and demand, but does anyone have any generalised insight?
