Hello, this is probably a long shot, but any info is appreciated.
My wife and I are considering relocating to Chicago. I have just barely started CFI training where I live in a smaller town in FL, but the hopes for employment after finishing my CFI are slim to none here. It seems like there would be more opportunities in aviation in a big city like Chicago, plus my wife has her whole family there, so we are considering a move.
What I would really like to find is a good place in Chicago to finish my CFI that might also be hiring. I have seen advice that the best scenario is to do your CFI where you would also like to work and where you can also eventually get some multi time. My short term career goal would be to instruct for a while and then move in to a freight dog job with plenty of opportunity for single pilot night IFR in winter. Might sound crazy but I respect anybody that does that and I think it would be a great experience. If anybody in the Chicago area has any ideas, I would really appreciate it.
Thank you in advance for any info.
