Thanks to everyone who replied to my thread a few weeks ago about getting my ATP. I have the checkride scheduled for May 17, and am looking forward to getting it done and out. So... next question:
I've been fortunate to save a bit of money CFI-ing, thanks to free rent from mom and dad. Would I be best suited to applying this to get more multi time now (I'm sitting on about 150), or would it be a good idea to apply it to a type rating on say a 737 as I've seen in certain ads while surfing the net? Knowing that I won't be flying that for a while now (I'm not even at a regional yet), is it kind of a waste or does that show initiative and ambition? does that tell a regional that i'm not a good candidate because i won't stick around long (even though I may)? Do they all kind of have the attitude that they know most of their pilots are destined for the majors anyway?
By the way, who is hiring? I think I'm starting to lose my hair from doing 30+ touch and go's every day... lol
