Hey everyone, I just wanted to get some opinions on going through the advanced airline track or going through the FlightSafety instructor track. What would be the best choice? I first thought that getting all the hours and certifications you can before you get started with a regional airline the better and more attractive you are to different companies down the road. But I also have been told the sooner you get hired the sooner you start making more money and building seniority. So I guess what I am asking is it worth putting in the extra time helping out other pilots learn to fly while gaining valuable experience of my own? Or am I waisting a year or so that I could have been using to build seniority? Any opinions or advice would be great thanks.
