SLPII,
We often move on from things that are really fun. College was a blast, but it didn't pay so I moved on<g>. Am sure instructing is alot of fun, but it doesn't pay extraordinarily well and am sure that is why many move on. If you paid someone to be a CFI in West Bell, USA, like a SWA/UPS/Fedex crewmember, would bet alot of airline pilots would quit yesterday <bg>

My attitude? What about yours? Who are you to belittle me for doing something I like? What did I say in the original post to offend you or anyone else? I simply said that I'd just renewed my CFI and all of a sudden I was being attacked for doing that? I fly gliders on the side too, does that bother you too?
UPS will obviously call you back, so there is no need to build time or stay current. Other jobs will pay you much more than flight instructing also.
I think it's totally brainless of you to renew your CFI in preparation for a furlough from UPS. I'm also skeptical that there just so happened to be FEDEX and SWA people there too. What was it, highest-paid-yet-delusional-airline-pilot day at the FSDO?

No, your message clearly implied to you renewed your CFI in case UPS furloughs you, and I still think that going back to flight instructing while awaiting UPS to call you back is moronic. You may need a psycological exam to see if you are fit to fly if that is your plan for a furlough.
