I was thinking of volonteering for them. I met a Major from the CAP but he was a "D^%$".

Maybe one of you guys may tell me if they had previous experience with them? What being there is like? How many time is necessary per month?

thx

If you want to build up flying hours for "free" the CAP is the best option.

I'm already a flight instructor and I build up hours fast. (except multi, I don't have any multi students).

If I go to the CAP, I will be promoted to captain because I CFI. I'm wondering if CAP was working with cadets for 90% and 10% SAR missions. I sure will be happy to help as CFI duty but I'm not really joining for that, I'm already a CFI 6 days a week.

and CFI I'm paid around $15-$20/h. Hours sucks, first flights at 6:30am up till night (when night flights required), but I don't care.

Like I said, I was in the French Air Force before coming to US, and I miss the "help others/save life" aspect

Well, you can help me/save my life by finding me a $15-$20 an hour job
