Thank you guys so so so much... You have really given me a lot of direction for life. It seems like it is so easy to wait and instruct for a while but it is hard to wait when all people my age with the 250 hours just out of IOE all saying "Just get in and get a seniority number." I know that flight instructing is valuable and I always wanted to do it but I would only be full on into it for 3-6 months and then I wouldn't be as useful to students anymore since I would only be hoping for a FO position at a regional. I guess that Trans States may not be for me. I just can't justify spending the extra money getting my Single commercial add-on and then CFI & CFII just for a few months of work instructing.

Place hasn't changed any since I was there in '93-'98.
I bet you can pay some TSA FO to help you before you start training. Let you copy some materials, go over flows, etc. Just a thought.

I must be twisted
I cannot say that I enjoyed the training experince, but I feel that I am better off for it. I think I learned some vauable lessons, and I think I can take that to another job with out much problem.
That was the reason that I would walk resumes in.
I was not trying to be a bastard to new kids that wanted to go there, I did give them a complete rundown on how it was going to go. I tried to lead the new guys away from using gouges in training.
In our class, it seemed like people made it through easier with out the gouges.
