It doesn't make you a better pilot if you decide to not apply yourself.

I carried those skill sets in with me from having more different kinds of jobs then years most new-hires have been alive. Others may need to learn them on the go, in the industry, but sorry...I'd hire the guy that flew checks single engine, single pilot IFR over the guy that taught anytime. |
I am glad to hear you're doing well in the 121 world. I also saw CFI's get burned in 121 training. As for the hiring of CFI v. freight guys? See my above response.
