Please help a newbie!
Afternoon folks, apologies before hand for this thread, but I am hoping that some of you can help me with a dilema I'm having at the mo.
Cutting a long story short, I am in the middle of my PPL, with the hope of one day becoming a utility pilot, but I'm struggling to see the path before me! So much so I am considering wether or not the sacrifices we all have to make, are worth it. I'm training on the 22, maybe oneday I'll get that commercial ticket, but how do I get that turbine rating? Loadlifting experience? I cant keep forking out for it! I know its gona be about being in the right place, knocking on the right doors, knowing the right people, and lots of luck!! But where does the road end?
Is there anyone out there who has been in this position and now doing that utility work?? Civi's only, I have no intention of joining up. Can you give me some advice/hope?
Could some of you more experienced folks give us lowtime guys your career paths?? Just to see how you got there!
