PPL to ????

Hi Heliport

Just need some advice I passed with PPL(faa) and then went onto S.A to convert to CAA and Hour build (have 175hrs Now)

I have enrolled on the Jaa-Atpl at oxford in Feb 08, hopefully when succesful 6 months on i will be looking for employment and im still willing to pay to do some ratings IR,CFI etc etc

Is this realistic? or will i need to pay out for another 300+ hours for piston and turbine? before anyone will even start to look at me?

Need also advice on which companies take on low time pilots and what types of work can i expect?
