"I know all the high time guys aren't going to like this, but I'm going to say it anyway. Basically my parents thought and mine too was why not try direct track and hopefully end up with a job at an airline, rather than try the internship for about 6 mo, come back to Vero, get my CFII, do the presentation again and hopefully be deemed worthy to instruct here. Then it would be another 1 1/2 to 2 years before I could complete the contract and be able to interview at an airline."
HAHA....at least your honest.
The way I see it, you've been forwarned of the possible dangers and disadvantages of a direct track type program and I'm sure you know why I don't like them. That said, I wish you luck in your career.
One thing I don't get, though. You seem all wound up with having to be a part of FSA. You seem to think you only have two options. It's either do direct track or do what it takes (I agree it's too much) to instruct there. You got your CFI, right? Just go get a job somewhere. You don't have to be an airline pilot RIGHT NOW do you? Are you like 40 or something? I didn't think so. Taking your time will make you a better pilot in the end.
