Amen paco.
Do the time guys! Resist the pen.
It's a long dreary road but we all must walk it.
Do it right & you won't come up lacking, what's the saying?....what goes around comes around!
I'm not trying to preach...but the term is 'Professional'!
Although alot of jobs require minimum experience, ability counts for alot! Any company with their own simulator will flight test you anyway...prove your worth there & hours become a whole lot less important.
