The rules are just changing due to the number of pilots that are sending out resumes. I know one flight school that has started to require that they have their CFI, CFII and now MEI. It used to be that a CFI was all that was required. If they keep getting resumes, then the hours required will also go up. With no movement in the industry right now, pilots are get their Flight Instructors licences which just floods the market. You wil have to find a nitch or just do it part time. I have a few ideas that I will be using this summer but I don't know if it will land me a flying job.
