|  First CFI job Well... I got my first CFI job today. I actually started the day being trained in on dispatch... it was my first day. I was supposed to be training from 6-noon. I was manning the phones when an instructor called to say that he'd been hired by American Eagle. By mid-afternoon I had been promoted from dispatch to CFI. I got it all set in stone by 4pm this evening, and I start flying tomorrow at 6:30 a.m.! I've got 3 students tomorrow... one instrument and two privates. One flight's going to be a cross country, one flight will be getting an instrument student back into it after 4 months off, and my last flight will be teaching ground reference maneuvers to a private. I'm extremely nervous at the moment... but I'm definitely excited!! Hopefully it'll go well... it's been awhile since I've done some of the things... but from what I've heard, it'll come right back! |

| Re: First CFI job I'm poor so anything with a "T" prefix is probably too expensive!  |

| Re: First CFI job the first day is over... I managed to fly for 4.2 hours today, and billed for 5.7... not bad for a first day! I'm satisified... but I'm shot! Good times! |
