  • @gatopiloto10 Thank you for the info. Good luck man.

  • Oh, and I'm sure I'm the first person in the world to take someone else's ideas and make it into their own version. You must be the type of person who went to see Batman or Superman at the movies in the past couple of years and thought they were the best ever and how come they had not brought them out before. Yes, I did take inspiration from the aforementioned video. You are entitled to your opinion, but then again I did ask you for it. Oh wait.......

  • @Ramster211 Like you said, you're a private pilot. I have been both a CFI and a "regional" pilot, and I can assure you that the level of fatigue as a CFI can be equal and even more at times. Boredom? NEVER! Fatigue? Yes. While it's true that 99% of CFIs are home every night, they are also working in environments that are more conducive to fatigue. When you get to a "regional" pilot job your flying life becomes way much easier, albeit with its own set of challenges and unpleasantry.

  • @JSF747 There is light at the end of the tunnel man, I promise. Keep your head up! When you're up flying at FL350 one day you will look back on it and say, it was worth it.

  • @luvchoclabs I don't really think this one is Obama's fault......but we all have the right to an opinion. Fly safe!

  • @oooooSERooooo Jajaja noooooooo, that was DUTY hours.

  • @plsniper Yeah, it depends a lot on where you work. On my first CFI job I started at $12/hr (2007) and probably made like 14k that year. In 2008 I started at a new place and pay there was better, my last year there I made 30k but I was flying like there was no tomorrow (in the end there wasn't since the school went BK jajaja.) But yeah, you don't really make a decent living as a CFI unless you get on with a solid school.

  • @Gotyler5 No, it was all done in 172s of a variety of models
