Line Up and Wait
I was planning to continue flight training during winter break, but I am going to be putting my flight training on hold for an uncertain period of time.
Several reasons why I am doing it.
1. I don't currently have a job and I don't think it would be wise to spend money on flight training without a source of income
2. I am busy looking for a career, right now before I graduate from college.
Rather than spending every paycheck I get on flight training (like I did over last summer), I think it is better to allocate a percentage of my income to flight training and when I accumulate enough funds, I will spend that fund all in one shot.
My question to you is that my CFI is expecting me to call him back to let him know when I can continue training with him. But, I don't know how to break the news to him about my decision since he is like a friend to me. When he called me a couple of weeks ago, he tried to persuade me to be his student again and I reluctantly said yes, when at the time I was actually unsure.
Should I not call him back, implying that I don't want to do flight training at this time, or should I call him and try to gently let him down? How should I handle this situation?
