Hell, If you're moving up to Alaska dont do CFI fly the bush! I know some one who does it and he says it's a lot of fun. I want to do it soon but dont have the cash or the wifes support to move me her and our baby a couple thousand miles. I mean the way I see it is, the big commercial pilots dont ever get to fly it (autopilot) so I'd rether flythe Bush or do some sort of Scenic tours then build all my hours being a CFI and never actually get to fly an airplane. I am about to take that sort of plunge which is going to sort of change from building to flying. Flythe Bush for a while I'd say (if you have the qualifications).

Unfortunately most bush operations want 1500+tt. You also have to get the Alaska experience somehow. The easist way to get the Alaska time is to instruct.
