Then I reckon you'll get there, Batfink, and good luck to you

How long is a far more difficult question. Timing, luck, contacts and your personality can have such a huge effect that it really is impossible to say. Often it will be 6 months to two years, but at the moment that is righ down for a lot of people. I hit the worst time and have waited over 4 years, but it has been worth it - I absolutely love my job

The job is 'just' a job, though to many of us a great one. However the industry is not just any industry. For a huge number of reasons I have observed that recruitment differs in aviation to that in many other areas of work. One of the main reasons is that many people have spent a lot of money to do a job they really want. Another reason is the close confines of the cockpit an the enforced socialising when ending up "down route" with crews.

I am not in pilot recruitment, although I know people who are or have been and have talked with them about these issues. I have also seen many people go through training, and many of them find jobs across different sectors ofthe industry. I base my comments on my observations and discussions.

Notice that your post is harder to read than others because it is all in lower case. Why do you not then use capitals?
