Skymarshalls work on jet planes with no jet time.

If you must work for an airline- flight attendants work on jet planes and rarely have any jet time.

Apply to Jazeera in Kuwait.But expect the worst threadment ever.
Got a call from a friend of mine and was told they fired around 24 captains and 2 FOs.
They will start hiring ab-initio FOs if they are willing to sign a bond and do slavery.
Trainingdepartement will make big buks with all this training.
They promise you gold and then they tread you like sh....First bring your family over and than they kick you out.
My poor friend is now looking for a job with more hours on his belt than most people have hair on their head.

All of us had zero jet time at one time. Maybe Jazeera might be an option, sign the bond, do your time and get your hours. After that you will be marketable and can move on to better things.

Bahrain Air will sell you 300 hours and MIGHT offer you a job in the end. If you are insane enough, PM me.

Do not pay to fly.

Try Tiger, Jetstar, Kingfisher etc. Plenty of Chinese and Indian outfits to go for.
Up until a few years ago Dragonair, which together with Cathay are probably the highest paying in the world (salaries at least double of those in the middle east), were recruiting FOs straight off beech 1900s.

Just keep sending those CVs out.
