I was hoping to pick a few brains! This is probably an age-old dilemma, but may benefit many newly qualified pilots out there…
I qualified with my JAA CPL/IR last year (also have an FAA CPL/IR) and based in the UK at the moment. I am motivated and willing to travel anywhere in the world but have had little success to date with the airlines (I’ve tried most of Europe, CV/resume send outs as well as phone calls and occasional visits). I simply need to fly but wish to do so as a commercial operator as opposed to instructing at this stage.
I would be interested to hear about how some of you gained your first commercial hours? How things worked out for you after gaining those hours and whether you would you do the same again?
Looking forward to hearing your stories. Thank you.
