Pilot pete!
Believe it or not, I've been making quite a few phone calls. I have placed myself ideally to catch the next bit of luck (which, by definition, cannot be self-made) that may come my way. I do not watch Coronation Street. I put my best telephone voice on, speak nicely to the right people and find out what the state of play is. I have contacted around 70 operators in the last 3 weeks.
Now, I'm not doomy and gloomy at all. But the fact remains that there are still a lot of unemployed, qualified pilots around. There is optimism, and I don't expect to be unemployed too long, there isn't the aviation gold-rush that was hinted at a while ago.
Soon enough, tho, soon enough.
Ciao for now
