And paying for an instructors rating and working for £5p/h to build up hours isn't the same!?!
Going to Ryanair to build up some jet hours isn’t (that) bad an idea. If you want to fly for Virgin/BA/Monarch etc. you need good hours on type. Which you’re not going to get other than flying for an airline of sorts.
This is a cut-throat industry im afraid, nobody owes you a crust. I guess its a little like an apprenticeship, you start off on poor pay and unfavourable conditions then when you’ve got the experience they ether offer you better terms and pay or you give THEM the flick and go elsewhere.
If you’ve got qualifications and experience then it’s not too difficult to find work. How do you get qualifications and experience? Well you ether put up with the bulls hit, get lucky or go the easy option and do another job!
