Hey all, I'm currently a CFI at a pretty nice FBO making a pretty decent wage (It is possible!). My goal is to fly corporate eventually, but right now I'm enjoying what I do. I tried the search function, but couldn't find a thread I seem to remember about where to go from here.
I'm getting my MEI here shortly (as soon as weather and MX cooperate) but I have limited opportunities to gain multi experience.
I'd love to get into the right seat of something in a year or two (still building hours as a CFI) and I'm wondering what would be the best way to go about that.
I've been looking at Airnet and other 135 operators, thinking that it would be a good way to build the multi and experience needed to get into a good corporate gig.
Has anyone gone from CFI to corporate and have any advice or experience to share as to what would be a good route to go? I don't get to meet many corporate operators as I'm based at a small field, so short of beating down the doors and introducing myself to people in the area I'm at a loss for any good networking ideas. I realize that going straight from CFI to corporate is pretty difficult these days with the more experienced pilots on the market, and insurance requirements.
I'm also looking to stay somewhere near Ohio (lord knows why) so I'm limiting myself further.
Thanks in advance.
