Hello everybody, i'm new to this forum, and i'd like to ask a few questions.
I've been reading posts on this forum for quite some time as well as the "words of advice" from Puritan (thanks Puritan), and have found that most people who are looking for a first airline job have already a few hundred turboprop or jet hours/experience.
I currently am finishing up my Australian CPL and should be going straight on to do the Instrument Rating and Multi-Engine Endorsment.
By the end of the IR i would only have TT250 of which only 80 command.
now here are the few questions:
1. Should i then get a frozen ATPL and would that help in getting into an airline?
2. How and where do most of u get the first few hundred (300-400) hours on turboprop? Is it with a smaller regional airline and charter work?
3. And finally a question that is common among my fellow student pilots here, and probably with a couple of people on this forum: "Is there any hope for me?"
Thanks in advance for your advice and comments,
Cheers,
asnamara
