Well I am afraid I wouldn't have employed you.
And something other potential instructors should keep in mind when planning there training route.
I am not the only one with such views.
If there is a break the suspicion is that the person hasn't managed to get an airline job so instructing is the second option. There is people out there that don't fit this profile for various reasons. But there are more than enough restricted instructors out there that that don't have breaks which ring alarm bells of instructing being the second none preferred option. So that the others can be consigned to the bucket without much thought.
