RTO, I can sympathize with your situation, but believe me, most of us have been in the same situation when the job market dried up.. .The fact is , if NOBODY takes these unpaid jobs, these companies will be forced to actually employ. .somebody at a living wage.. . As a fellow Norwegian, I can understand that there aren't any flying jobs in Norway right now,. .but the cycle always repeats itself, and the supply/demand ratio will once again favor pilots looking for work.. .My recommendation is be patient, flight instruct . .if you can, and eventually your big break will come, and it won't be as a slave for a guy like . .T.C.
