wonder how much longer it will take me to get that first break into the airlines.
Hav you tried starting less ambitiously?
When I started (someone swing the lamp for me) no one expected to go straight from instructing into the airlines, the normal route was from instructing into an Aztec/Seneca or similar on Air Taxi, then into something like a Kingair befoe a RH seat Turboprop Airline Job.
