I did everything on the cheap (but spent where required) and got offers from a 737 operator and a large regional, your choice.
Thanks for the info, Why do you think these people are unemployed? is it simply despite the course they just wasn't “that great” there attitude didn’t fit, skill levels not as good as some - what do you think the real determining factor is in actually turning this into a career? Can I ask how long have you been employed by your operator, assume you simply just applied for the job or did the modular school hook you up? Thanks in advance.
