I disagree with that. I instructed to put hours into my logbook and earn a living, but I also enjoyed it, took it very seriously, and was 100% committed to the job.

Let's face it, most flight instructors are time builders... With few exceptions, flight instruction is a stepping stone job to other careers in aviation. The problem (IMHO) is when people are flight instructing ONLY to put hours in their logbook, and don't really care for instructing. That is not good, and is extremely unfair to the student. Fortunately (for students) there are a lot of choices available for CFIs, so if they get some schmuck they can easily get somebody to replace him/her in a short amount of time. That wasn't necessarily true a couple of years ago though.

So you do agree with etflies. That (in bold) is pretty much what he said.

You can pay your dues cleaning an aircraft, flight instructing, or even flying a jet. It's just what your mentality is and your attitude towards the operation and your career. If you take things seriously, and put it above everything else in your life (minus maybe your health/family), you will see a reward.

Sorry, not buying it. See a reward from who?

Really? I thought I said this:

There's a difference between those that care, and those that don't. A BIG difference.

Another good reason to lock this baby and just let it die.

Reminds me of the banned game, felt oh so fun in the beginning. Then afterwards people just want it to die.

I'm with wrxpilot on this one. Yes I got my CFI with the hope of building time/gaining experience. But that's not the only reason. I just enjoy flying in general, and I'm not hellbent on having to be in the right seat of a CRJ in 6 months. I really don't care.

I often think back to my student pilot days when aviation was new and exciting to me, and if I can help guide someone through that same excitement, well that would be awesome

Why? Its easier to click into a single job posting, if its below 1000 TT required post it in the title. Don't think your going to see to many of those though.

This thread has become more of a novelty now

Only 40000 views, Ill bet there are that many pilots out there with fewer than 1000 hours looking for a job.
