Thankyou for the replies so far,

Pete,

As you also point out some low hours guys (the best ones) go on to get jobs and have no problem passing the airline training. Getting the job straight out of training is more down to determination, a bit of luck and being good enough to pass the interview/ selection!
Can't really agree to this, In my experience (small i agree), it comes down simply to WHO you know not WHAT you know! I know many Low hour people who passed everything first time with very high averages and grades having worked their socks off and who have never found work (or even had an interview)! On the other hand, I know several people who failed several exams, required extra training etc, etc and who then walked into an airline thanks to 'who they knew'!!

Don't get me wrong, we all know the risks when we make that massive decision to 'go for it', and No, the world does not owe anyone a living! Thats life!!

For those with the determination and cash (oh and contacts will help), chances are your day will come.
