Its simple for me, I'm in a situation where I can not be picky and choose where I want to fly. I have to work in order to enjoy this privilege later on in my career.
Air baltic may not be the greatest company on earth, but wherever I have worked in the aviation industry (including one of the best airlines in the U.K.) pilots are not happy and have something to complain about.... its human nature to do so.
Now I may not get the chance to work for AB, they may not even invite me to the sim stage, but if I were to be offered a contract on the 737, I would bite their hands off.
I'm sure AB will be a very good place for me to fly for the first time and build experience so I can then move on to bigger and better things.
The rosters may be dodgy (they seem to be at most airlines), the pay may not be great and some of the Captains MAY be a little sharp as described above? But it is money and experience in the bank and also heaps of good time in the log book.
Winglet, can you give me any advice regarding living, accommodation, cars etc ?
