Flintstone - when you hit bottom and then rock bottom (some even hit rock bottom and then proceed to dig so that's 3 bottoms)
Jetlag Kid - Thanks for your views. Pesonlly, not looking for the easiest way into a job, just any way - that works. I too like to think of aviation as a nobel profession (naive, huh?) and hate the idea of paying for it, so if it's frowned upon by those that do the hiring and firing that's that!
Incidently, I already have a bit over 1000 hours instructing with around 1600hrs TT (only 60 ME though
) and would love to fly anything - freight, night, even Michael Jackson. The thing is, I haven't flown professionally for 4 years now (at 28 years old) and that doesn't look good on a resume. I also lack that coverted Green Card (I have British and Australian passports though which leaves a few doors open).
Bizjets is where I want to be though and will keep plugging away and exploring options to make myself that marketable person that all you experienced guys want to hire
Cheers,
Chips
