I'm enjoying this thread.
I started flying in the late 70s and chose to avoid becomming a flight instructor and any sort of C&T role. Now in the later years of my career, and with a few teaching experiences in areas other than flying, I regret that decision. In recent years I've offen thought I'd enjoy getting involved in flying training for the satisfaction of handing my skills on and helping someone achieve their goals. I don't see that happening until after I retire from my present gig, and by then it might be too late.
However, I am getting vicarious instructional highs through this thread - so thank you, one-and-all, for your input here.
