>>2000718Nah that’s just a shitty attitude. I had a great time instructing, I did it for 5 years, but you have to find a good company. Most people are just trying to bang out their hours to get to another job, fine, but how do you expect them to feel about a job they didn’t want in the first place? It was an incredibly rewarding job, I was very proficient all the time, I made my own schedule, I had as much time off as I wanted, if I was sick nobody gave a shit, I was home every night, and I was always learning and helping people learn. When I left I made $42/hr with benefits flying a well-maintained fleet. It was very satisfying watching my students become instructors and airline pilots themselves. It wasn’t all great but it certainly wasn’t all shit. I instructed before and after COVID and watched the industry halt, but I didn’t panic because it ebbs and flows, and sure enough it came back. I do some cool work in the jet and there are a lot of upsides, but QOL is arguably lower. Some people just refuse to see the plus sides along the way.
