You need to check the "I'm older then you and I've got it figured out" attitude at the door man, because it doesn't work in this career. Plenty of folks have changed careers at ages much older then you because they were humble and not only researched the career, but also listened to advice from those much younger then they.
With your attitude, Captains are going to LOVE flying with you. 
Goodluck. |
The point that I was making was that I did not skip the CFI/cargo route. I was a CFII , and am still current , plus I flew corporate , and I flew cargo. What I was implying was that I'm not a 500 hour 20 year old pilot that had not paid his dues and was trying to skip the CFI learning experience. I learned more about flying while I was teaching students , then in training. A lot of people that I taught are flying for the airlines , some are in wheelchairs and some are dead!
Perhaps you misunderstood what I was implying , its no problem , its difficult to understand everyones intendtions on this board without having a complete conversation in person.
I never said " I ws the older guy and I have if figured out" , you sir said that!
