I think all the professional pilots I've met were, at one point, CFIs/CFIIs. A lot, if not most of the hours they got were while flying with student pilots that were at an earlier stage of their flying adventures. At least that's been my understanding. This makes me wonder: If the applicant...

I am currently in San Antonio, after having flown the red-eye here this morning. I became an airline pilot at age 49, after suffering 17 years at an unrelated & unsatisfying career. I used all the lame excuses about "why" I could not become an airline pilot. I told myself I couldn't take the pay...
