I wish I could have good news for you but.... I am in your very same situation. Completed CPL/IR with all courses and stuff about one and a half years ago, 350 hours total, speak English and Italian. Cannot find anything.
I've spent about 45k on the training (and I was lucky), I cannot afford another 30k for a type rating. I am thinking of just finding another job, as much aviation related as possible, but it is not easy either.
I also have contacts in the business aviation, private jets, I've been able to right-seat on a 525 for some time, but it's not enough apparently.
Everything that I see asks to:
- Be type rated, or
- Have 1500 to 2500 hours, or
- Speak German or the language of the country.
No ATOs that I know are looking for FIs (or they ask for the language), so spending 5-7k on a FI rating doesn't feel appealing. I have asked to some parachuting clubs around, but they said I don't have enough experience... How can I build experience if nobody lets me fly?
It's pure madness here.
