Hello all:
New to the forums here. A quick background about my question, hopefully you guys can toss me some advice...
I am instrument current, with a commercial multi-engine land license and an SIC type rating for the airline I fly for. I have approximately 500 hours and am very interested in getting my instructor rating! :nana2:
Here's the difficulty(ies):
1. I do not have a commercial single-engine license.
2. I can't afford another costly tuition.
3. I don't want to get out of aviation (my current employer is furloughing).
A local flight school that I have spoken to informs me that it *is* possible to go straight into an MEI rating (for about $6000), but did not recommend it since getting a job with no single-engine instructor time does not look good. I am hoping that my part 121 experience will negate that and give me more chances at being hired as an MEI.
Any suggestions from you current instructors out there? Anyone been in my situation?
Thanks again, happy to be a part of the forums now! :bandit:
