Hello (again) Peter,
Further to my post to you in the Wannabes section (don't worry, you're welcome
), here's a link to the FAQ post that I mentioned:
Older Training FAQ.
I suggest that you take the time to read through the various threads. Most of your questions have already been answered.
I am a bit worried that there are no jobs for new pilots. There are jobs available, you just need to know where to find them. In the UK and the US, most of the entry level jobs are instructing.
I was planning to do my IR as everyone say's it's a must. Who exactly is 'everyone'? Don't confuse the fixed wing world with how things operate in rotary. Only certain jobs in the rotary world require an IR. Few of these jobs are for newbies.
Are there any new pilots here that can't get jobs. Lots and lots and lots.
I don't fancy being an instructor. Good luck to you then. See the above point.
