What is better option?

What is the better option in the current market for a 650 hr guy? A multi IFR or Instructor rating to build some more PIC time. The Multi IFR will leave me a little shy of 700 hrs. Would this be okay in Albertas job market or should I look at Instructing for a while? Thanks in advance.

If you get your Instructor, you're still going to need your group1 anyways assuming you want a Multi job. >500hrs with a MIFR is a decent resume.

you shouldn't even be contemplating this.. go for the MIFR and get a job flying up north

Things are a changing!

The industry has never seen this kind of movement.

Don't go up north and don't get an instructor rating, there are three companies at YVR south terminal that have all hired guys with less time than you have, and all three are still looking for more!

Cheers and best of luck!

(You will need your MIFR for all of them though.)

(PM me if you like)
