I loved teaching, and I'm glad I was able to continue doing it at Amflight when I stopped doing part 61 flight instruction, but I'm also glad I easily trippeled my pay in the process. At the time I would have taken a job at Mesa just to get health insurance, something I wasn't going to get while I was flight instructing.
Weren't you essentially still instruction pt61 at Amflight?
Edit: Never mind, I see what your talking about after reading some regs.
