I start to get panic!!!!!!
hi fellow pilots!
now, after a few years of no or almost no jobs in aviation, the situation is changing. there are jobs. but not a single one for me!
I start to panic, because i think i will be stucked on the turboprops forever.
I´m currently captain with around 4000 hours total. but there is not a single job for me out there!
I applied for china airlines, cathay pacific, gulf air quatar airways, but haven´t heard a single word of all them. so now i´m getting a little nervous. my current company is not doeing so good at this time. so i´m afraid of loosing my job pretty soon.
my biggest problem is that i´m only have experience on turboprop aircraft, and that my atpl os not a jar one.
so some people keep telling me that i should make a JAR atpl, and then pay to go to ryanair. well, maybe that would work out, but I´m not really happy to spend another 40000 euro.
so, what do you think. what are your pilot friends doing? or what are you doing by yourself? what are my chances to get hired somewhere?
thank you very much for any help, or just good and motivating words!
