I was driving the other day to the grocery store when I received a phone call from a certain pilot/employee of the UVU Flight school who happens to be in charge of all Certified Flight Instructors. After a few minutes of interesting conversation I learned that he is in fact a BYU graduate with a piano performance degree. Anyway, the reason he called was that he wanted to recruit me as a CFI (Certified Flight Instructor) with UVU.
This may seem somewhat trivial, but the prospect of teaching flight lessons over the next year or so is quite enticing. Remember that if I become a flight instructor, I don't have to pay for my flight time AND I get paid for flying. There are still some things that would need to be done before I could begin such as get my commercial single add on and complete the required written and flight tests for the certification. Essentially all I would need to do for the flight portion is complete the commercial pilot checkride from the right seat instead of the left.
One other perk of the job is that I would get to wear those cool shirts with the epaulets. I know you're jealous. It's ok, anyone would be. Any comment?
