Most of you will by now know me by my expolts and fall outs in these forums before but I have to say I am a new CPL with multi engine IR and FI(R) and still looking for work But SFH 1970 has a point Charlie has a point also. Trying to get the first job is not just a mare it is almost bloody imposable my encounters to date as follows.
I have sent my CV out to probally 40 operators and can count on one hand the responce that I have got I have found some atitudes on the telephone. how many hours. answer 360 O we require 2000 and then they slame the phone down, however the latest one after the insurance issue, I have encountered is, have you been base and line checked, answer well no as I have not had a job yet. well that would be to expence at the moment when we can get in other freelance pilots to cover.
I think the only answer is to keep plugging away and dont give up. but offering money No I think it would be better spent either increasing hours or adding ratings and ride out the temptation to (BUY) your way in so to speak
My hope and belief is that operators will see that I have spent wisely on the right quilifications and will possably take me under there wing and as SHF saysnot only does it under mine what the current line pilots are doing even though I have no job at present it undermines what I have spent to try to get to the right Job. if somebody is willing to do it for free or pay for the privalage.
my stratigy is to try to offer some freelance work bit here bit there if I can get it but i would hope to now be paid for this.
I would (HOPE)
Finally i wish there where morew like John Eacott here in the UK it is a shame he is so far away
regard to John he is a man with the right idea
