Mate I’ve been in Darwin since September last year, been to every operator multiple times with no luck! And I’ve got the standard CPL/MECIR 220 hrs and 10 hrs PIC on a 210. ATPL’s done too! Never expected to jump straight into a jet job but always expected to start from the bottom and work my way up but the fact is no one’s hiring without you knowing someone or having a LAME’s qualification or similar! This is how many pilots give up on their dreams and turn to other jobs/careers! At the end of the day we all need some form of income to support our families and eventually start to realise that it’s all just a pipe dream.
