Forget the big smoke and go camp out for a month or two near somewhere really awful, get close to an operator who has singles and twins. Maybe one whose major business is servicing remote communities, because operators who depend on tourism are too seasonal, and now is the wrong season. There is always a pilot turnover in remote places, especially when the wet season kicks in. Start on the singles and as sure as night turns to day, if you do a good job you will get to fly the twins, just because you havent left yet. Don't even mention you expect to fly a twin within your first six months. Think about it from the point of view of the other pilots already ahead of you, waiting for their turn at a twin, so that they can do their 500 hours and eventually move on closer to the city life. Character buiding, and what chief pilots of some bigger companies value more than you might think.
