MEI only?

[QuasarZ]

Long story short, family owns an aztec and I'm thinking about getting my MEI as initial as it would be cheaper this way. So I was thinking, maybe I could instruct multi-egine while I study for the single engine cfi. Has anyone ever heard of getting hired with just MEI and no SE-cfi? Or do places require that to be a CFI you need to have SE CFI. I've searched the threads and read about doing MEI as initail and it is possible, just haven't heard of places that hire only MEI's

Thanks

Nope. You have as much chance of being hired as a MEI only as you have of winning the lottery.

The nomal food chain is that you do enough SE instruction to convince the school that you work for that you are comprtent enough to handle ME students. And this is personal from me to you - you will get into big trouble much quicker with ME students than you will with SE students. It is much more dangerous, and this method of survival of the fittest is best.

Anyway, even if you are Superman, the food chain demands that the SE instructors who have "put in their time" deserve the chance for ME time, so that's how it is.

Of corse, if you have your own ME airplane, you can do as you wish, but get lots of practice with a good senior instructor who won't be afraid to try to kill you on engine cuts on Take-Off or approaches...for your own good.

Ok, that is what I kind of was thinking too. I appreciate the response.
