Thinking about changing my double major

[Tommay85]

I thought I've heard of a couple of CFI's at UND who did their training somewhere else.

I want to do it for the experience in learning how to teach someone to fly in a busier environment (Class B). This way I can be more well-rounded in my flying experience when applying for a CFI job... whether it be a CFI job in the DC region or some tiny town in Kansas.

It seems a lot of instructors here that have only flown in this area are just scared to death of MSP. My 222 instructor was kinda freaked when I went to St. Paul Downtown Hollman. I was just like, hello I fly around chicago, MSP is a cake walk in comparison. I didn't have that problem in 323 when I did the same flight with a different instructor that flew around MSP all the time. I might be over generalizing, but it seems that instructors are better with experiance flying in busier areas regularly.

My 102 instructor from Anoka had absolutely no problem flying into MSP with me in the Warrior! We doubled up the day x-c and night x-c lesson, spent 5 hours at the Mall of America to do some shopping and eat a tasty beef tenderloin steak at Twin Cities Cafe, now that was fun.

Edit: Oh, best of all was the waiter thought my instructor was a mall security guard because of his CFI uniform, so he voluntarily gave us the Mall worker's 50% discount! A $28 filet mignon for $14

Yeah, my instructor was just being a baby then. I think its funny some of the jobs that have epaulets. I believe they should be limited to the military, pilots, and maybe bus drivers. haha
