"or do what it takes (I agree it's too much) to instruct there."
DE727......You think it's too much? They have standardization for a reason. It produces good pilots and good instructors who will be training the next pilot coming through the ranks. They are very picky about who instructs there and it is a good thing.
IMO....I think you (BADCO99) should do your CFII and interveiw again. I know alot of people that did not make the cut the first time but did the second time after CFII. Besides, you will hone those instrument skills when you do the CFII which will only help you if you do go the direct track program.
Give it a shot... You are FSA trained and I am sure you did well through your training. You can also ask Mr Wakefield and Mr Lawler for help in preparing for the second interview. they will respect your effort and you may earn some points before the interview.
