Same situation as myself. I have PPL, IMC, Night and MEP and am currently employed as CC for MYT and was hoping for contacts etc which i have got.

The only thing i would avoid doing is working for a Charter Airline such as MYT or BY as they only employ you on a seasonal contract which means come October 31st, all the hard work you have done means nothing as you won't be in contact with them for another 4 months.

Just to give you an idea of how tough it can be, MYT have employed a guy as CC at Gatwick who has been to Oxford Aviation and has everything (ATPL, CPL, IR, MCC) and he will be finishing his seasonal contract on October 31st with no chance of staying on as Flight Deck.

The way i see it is that its almost impossible to be employed by a big airline, and fly 'big' aircraft unless you have 1000hrs plus under your belt. Maybe try the smaller ones such as Emerald or Aer Arran.


Good Luck.
