Dear All,
I am sorry to be the one to break the news but at present time there are not too many job for flight instructors.
Before September 11th we were looking for FI's but couldn't find many. After September 11th I am receiving almost 2 resumes everyday. Remember all those pilots who were laid off or furloughed are also flight instructors.
My advice before you spend any money on your FAA flight training also, please find out if there are jobs available in the market. No point spending that money if you cannot find a job.
