Hi guys, a quick update about my situation. I have renewed my MEP IR shortly after I posted last year and applied to everything from airlines to aerial surveys, business aviation ect. Unfortunately, just negative answers, not even an interview invitation. Probably the 5 years flying gap plays an important factor, my age as well, I'm 36. I've spent my whole professional life doing odd jobs in order to save for what was and still is my dream, and I don't want to give up until I find a flying job, even if I have to go through the pay-to-fly route.
