If you are not able to relocate frequently then this is a tough buisness. Its hard enough finding jobs however sometimes you have to goto places clear out in the middle of no where . I was lucky enough to have a CFI job in my hometown but to work for mesa I had to move down to phoenix then got displaced to nashville. I am currently nearing my 2nd month of exile and will be going back to phoenix shortly. Luckily I am able to commute out here but it sure is a pain. Bottom line is that if you arent able to move to find a job then it could make it nearly impossible. That being said if you are persistant you will find work at least as a CFI in your home area. Perhaps you can do it for fun while you are waiting tosee if you want to fly full time. There is no such thing as too late in this buisness. The only time its truly too late is when you turn 60 years old at an airline and you can instruct as long as you want. If you do want to work at a regional though then you will almost certainly have to move. Commuting is an option but depending on where you commute to it can make life difficult. good luck! You can go as far as you want. theres always jobs out there just get to know the right people |
