The thing is: European aviation is different to American aviation. I wouldn't have minded (in fact: would have liked) to start my career on small Bizjet like a Citation, or doing Medevac, FI etc - BUT these hours are logged for
nothing over here, as nearly every airline wants time on at least MTOW >10t. So going the bizjet/medevac route, you're basically stuck in this sector (happened to a friend of mine). FI? Well, nice to have, but is nearly useless for getting an airline job for the same reasons.
Therefor basically the only chance you have, is joining an airline right out of flightschool, which is, imho, not a good way to do it.

One reason why I love NPAs - "Disconnecting, recycle FDs please..."
