Flight International this week:. .737 Pilot Available, recently licenced, New Group 1 rating on type, Canadian and US commercial Licenced, WILL WORK FOR FREE ON 737 to build experience,.... <img border="0" title="" alt="[Frown]" src="frown.gif" /> . .Sorry Send Clown but this guy has already stolen your job and I hope this advert will be percieved the way it should be. Disgusting it is! To the guy who advertised, perhaps you should have thought about securing a job before investing (spending) that kind of money for a type rating. Sure if you have 5 hours on type you will be able to compete against the much more experienced and professional guys that are currently available on the market,...Not!!. .Quote:. ."For years people have taken sponsorship with a 2-year lock in to instruct as part of the deal. With the pay of instructors I find that a worse deal for the individual, butI have never seen it criticised.". .Again Send Clwon we seem to be be on a different planet. How do you do manage to see that an honest hard working, keen, flight instructor (albeit with a low salary)can be compared to someone who pays for his "employment". Yep they have it tough but it certainly shows a fair amount of commitment and determination. On top of that you seem to insinuate that this guys/girls are dergrading themselves in exercing such profession. They are not! and thanks to them, today you have learnt to fly !!!. .As for the comment about CD's reference to generations, well what can I say ?. .I am 30 and do agree with him, although I suspect there is a few years between us, people tend to go for the "quick fix" solution but I am sorry, that's not how you show how dedicated you can be. I guess I must be old fashioned but I do have a certain idea about aviation and so far I have managed to get by like that.... . . . <small>[ 20 March 2002, 05:03: Message edited by: AMEX ]</small>
