1850 hours tt Military
Since the military is experiencing budget cuts all over europe and jobs are very hard to find even for pilots with years of experience I was wondering.
What is the chance of getting a good job with an airliner when you have 1850 hours TT of military rotary wing experience of which 800 hours PIC and with a licence as TRI/TRE.

Hallo,
Helaas niet zo best. At the moment in The Netherlands there are about
1200 young unemployed pilots. If a good job is considered an F/O jet
Job in europe? Is gone be hard to find. EasyJet,Wizzair,Ryanair and the likes
employ cadets sometimes starting linetraining with only 150
Hrs of total time. And actualy they are not employed with the airline anymore
but with an agency like parc aviation or brookfield etc. All so called
Flexi contracts. Random roster and paid by the hour. No fly no pay.
These cadets are young flexible inexperienced and pay for their type
Rating. A dream come true for the airlines.
Perhaps a suggestion try the rotary world. Bristow in Den Helder or
like Shell in Brunai. Is more fun as well to use your flying skills instead
of being an operator of 170 computers in an Jet airliner.
I hope that we reached the deepest point in the job market.
Succes ermee

If your talking rotary pretty sure you would be able to find work with that experience. Plenty of the chopper pilots I have met flying to the offshore oil and gas rigs have previous military experience.
As for the airliner world things are depressing as Falck clearly points out. I am unsure how airliners look at and value previous rotory experience.
