I‘ve considered going modular, but I’m in a situation where I need job security - basically because my parents are old (they could actually be my grandparents) and they’re spending their life savings on my career, so I should be able to start sustaining myself in the short term. But I’m still open to considering going for a modular course if there are real possibilities of getting a job in the flight deck with no more than 6 months of wait after completing the course
I’d love to get some insights on how difficult it is to get the first pilot job after the CPL in Europe… maybe someone here can tell us their experience
