After flight training 6YRS ago I decided to go down the instructor route which I really enjoyed even though at times I didn't earn enough money to live. We all got jobs on turbo props within a year. And the market was not as good as it is at the moment.

The FACT!!! is that myself and ALL my fellow instructors are now flying jets for various airlines. I know a couple of guys who paid for type ratings to try and jump the que and are still looking after many years, I think in some cases the rating has expired (5Yrs).

I suggest that you do an instructor course learn the basics,enjoy your flying and it WILL work out for you. I get really piXXed off with guys who come out of training and all they want to do is fly jets, aviation has more to offer than a big shinny jet, the sad thing is you will only realise it when you fly one.


Good Luck!
