First time poster.
Thought this would be the place to ask.
Currently 25 yrs old. Have my CFI, working on my CFII. Haven't flow much this summer, due to no jobs in my state (MI or OH). I've tried to hit a lot of airports for a CFI job, but no one is hiring. My mentality is kind of in the gutters. I want to get hours in, and get out of this ditch that I seem to be idel in. I know I am not making any progress with my current day job, behind a desk. I need to be out getting hours, and I fear with winter coming up, if a CFI job does open up, the amount of flying I will get in will be limited due to the weather.
I am just kind of lost right now on where I should go. Goal - Airline Pilot. Love flying. Just mentally down due to not a lot of jobs in my area, and I don't want to keep passing by valueable flying time.
I don't know if I should keep trying to find something that pays low, but gets me hours...and maybe go for ATC training and have that on the side while the airlines business is still low. That way I will have a steady career, but be flying also, and when the airline business picks up again, I can continue on with that.
Anyone else out there in a similar position, or have their moral down right now?
Please chip in, need to positive support.
