It was only a statement of what appears to be happening. And my definition of South starts at the Hedrians Wall.

I have seen on these forums people complaining about lack of jobs, no bites etc.

It completely goes against what I see in scotland amongst Instructors I wasn't bull!!!!ting on other threads when i say that all the instructors i met last year in my travels last year have now got truboprop or jet jobs and we are talking about nearly 20 pilots. And i am sure Luke could add a few more from further south that I never met.

And what got my goat was the fact that a full time job was on offer for an instructor who wasn't yet qualified. You don't get better than that as an instructor. Yes you have to pay 5K but you have a full time job at the end there is no risk envolved.

The politics of trying to get crew to work at far flung regional airports seems to be pretty hot. People just won't move. The fact that you get payed the same as the large airports, have a less stressful life, housing is cheaper etc. doesn't seem to matter.

But all the wannabies seem to be wanting 737 jobs then bitch and complain that they spent 45k+ and havn't got one. And I have zero sympathy for wannbies complaining they can't get work when threads like the one above show that its more a can't be arsed or setting there goals to high or are not hungry enough for the job to move.

PS I think 'ugliest and worst dress sense collection of flight crew in the UK' would be better with the top leading by example. And its 13 months is the longest the instructor has lasted with out getting a turbine job. Much to the CFI's disgust
