Perhaps

you know exactly what i'm saying 520, waiting lists and hold files are very short these days with fewer cpl's coming out of the flying schools - check the CASA website for proof. Even the AFAP website is often asking for first jobbers, now i know that didn't happen in your time, nor mine.
I can't say it was easy to get my first job. Definitely one of the steeper challenges I've ever faced, actually. Mainly the learning curve involved in discovering the politics that this industry (and others) is(/are) plagued by.

From what I hear though, there are more CPL's than ever being 'manufactured' by the schools, and I'm 100% guilty of being one of them. And that was only 4 or so years ago.

You really reckon it's easier now??

Thanks for the Squire connotation though, very cute
No sarcasm intended.
