It still amazes me how many people think that 250 hrs a CPL/IR and an MCC course will get you a job in a shiney airliner. Having worked on every continent bar Aus. and having never found as a rule that you will be employed in any regional or low cost airliner with less than 800 hrs or so, and that is being very kind. Sure there are the exceptions like in any industry, but if you go into this thinking you are an exception you are in for a wake up call.
Get more experience than the next guy, travel if you have to, to far away exotic countries and go do the sh!tty flying jobs that other people think are beneath them, come back with some good stories and even better flying time and see how easy it is to get a job.
