Scroggs is right. I've been chasing since July 2000 and have come to the simple conclusion that there are too many of us jumping up trying to get on that elusive ladder. Put simply the only way to get a job is

1- Know the right people (this industry invented the word Nepotism !)
2- Go for an instructor rating
3- Take the risk and pay for a type rating
4- Hope that by the miracle of god that your cv lands on the right desk at the right time....probably more chance of finding Beagle 2 !

I at the present time can’t go for 2 and 3. So I try and network as much as I can. As much as I believe in Equal Opps I’m afraid this industry doesn't, and so if you can beat them .......

PS- 300 hours total with 60ish multi....just about enough pennies to stay current each year.
