Yep, that sounds like my progression!
Got my first commercial job with 925 hours.
No one seems to have mentioned the other side of the 'curve' - commercial/airline pilots who have 'retired' and want to get back into instructing?
A number I know have done enough flying and do want to retire in all senses of the word.
How many others return to instructing, either PPL or CPL level, I do not know? Any experiences, as I don't remember any during my training?
Always seemed a progression TO the airlines, never a return FROM them.
