Hi everybody! (Hi Dr Nick!)
I was wondering what you guys think would be best for the long term, now I know when the time comes the ASA program may or not be offered at that particualar time, but given the option which is the better route? Sure the idea of getting a job flying right seat in a CRJ after 600hrs or somthing sounds great but are you missing out on the whole flight instructor experence by doing so?
I've heard from several people that you don't truly learn how to fly until you start instructing. Also if you got furloughed down the track, wouldn't you be at a disadvantage from not having that instructor time on your resume?
Lastly, sure CRJ time probably looks good to the majors but personally I love turboprops and I think it would be great fun to fly one one day, if you go the CRJ route it seems you'd miss out on that experence all together, like you have all your career to be flying jets I'd wouldn't want to look back from the seat of a 767 or somthing and wish I had flown a turboprop at least for a while, if only for the experence of somthing different.
Anyone else think this way or is it just me?
