Also as a heads up:
MCO (actually ORL) is a very slow base. Did my MEI/II add-ons there and the last time I looked it up I think they fly about 40 hours a month between the 2 instructors.
RDU and BHM are both 1 CFI locations, and I'd gamble they aren't super busy but I can't look up their schedule any more.

Also keep in mind once you come out of the career program you'll already have >100 hours of multi. There's nothing bad about teaching privates since you don't really need the multi time (and you'll build a lot of time that way, since each private student gets 85 hours in less than 60 days). Although I'd have to say I learned a lot teaching instruments that I don't think I would have learned if I was a private instructor.

Bet it up!!!

I appreciate the heads up info.

Well, it looks like either JAX, SUA or FLL/FXE. I'm just going to have to study hard and perform at a higher proficiency level in order to get the PA-44.

Thanks again...blue skies.
