What happened to hard work?

Hello fellow PPRuNes

I have been reading Rotorheads for a few
years now and thoughtly enjoy the thread.
I like a drink and have a little bit of a temper
so I have resited posting untill now.

I was reading this months issue of Australasia Aviation
Trader when I saw this ad.

$10,000 REWARD
COMMERCIAL HELICOPTER PILOT
REQUIRES WORK FLYING
Willing to pay $10,000 for flying work
Ratings INCLUDE 200TT
R22/R44/NIGHT/SLING
33 YEAR OLD MALE
MECHANICAL FITTER/WELDER
MATURE,HONEST,WANTING TO WORK
DRIVING LINCENCES LR/MR/HR/HC/60 TON CRANE

I know how hard it is to get a start,
I know how it feels to spend cubic dollars to
get a licnence and then join the
ranks of the unemployed,
but surely there is a right and wrong way
to get that first job.

My old man told me that,
if I worked hard and keeped my mouth shut
I would eventurly get to where I wanted to go.
Am old fashioned? am I out of touch on how things
are done?
Would it not be better to spend the $10,000
on going round and meeting the operators
or taking some time off to work in a hangar
to see how things work?

I would like to hear what the bosses and the workers
think on the subject.

Cheers Mogg
