I'm trying to get a better "feel" for a time frame in which I might start to get paid for flying. I'm about to become a CFI but my flight school hasn't hired anyone in 6 months since CFI's aren't going anywhere. (No surprise, huh).
Obviously, aviation is recovering and things are 'picking up' but I'm hoping to get some indications more specific to guys/gals in my shoes. Any objective/unbiased answers to ANY of the following questions will help:
-To what degree of difficulty do you estimate in finding a CFI job?
-How many furloughed pilots currently remain out of work?
-In YOUR estimation, how much total/multi time do you think is necessary to have a "50/50" shot at your AVERAGE regional or part 135 job.
Your input and judgement is valued and appreciated!
