mad jock,
Its not as easy as that, many cannot just drop everything and move to scotland to earn at best £12000 a year if you do 900 hours like you commented. I have made far too many sacrifices to go and instruct in Scotland. However if for example Loganair offered me a job i would not hesitate for obvious reasons. You have no right to challenge my motivation, why did you not move down south to pursue employment? What if you were not lucky and never got the FI job in the first place?
Why is aiming for a 737 job too high? Airlines have to employ a certain number of FATPL people (i.e low hour).
