When times are not so good though there is a bit of an excess of FI's in the UK but there is usually always work for an IRI/ME Instructor. If all being the same I'd try for IRI as you will have work that is reasonably well paid if you ever lose your airline job and can teach in a sim if you lose your medical. PPL instructing typically has zero money in it. I'm not sure what the script is going straight to IRI.. do you need to have been an FI first? I've been out the teaching game almost two years and all that stuff has just gone out my head I'm afraid.
What is the definition of a decent FI/guy? I can't find anything full time locally or even a sniff with the airlines, i wonder whats wrong with me
