Did very well, decent bloke, nice instructor, good operator, a lot of passion for flying. Totally deserved his success. Like the first example, he had a godfather in SIA Flt Ops which helped even more because he was a good guy.
Was revisiting this thread and thought maybe I could get some info here. Where did this decent bloke get his CPL?
Also I've been told thousands of times by UK pilots CONTACTS is what a privately funded CPL holder needs to get the break. Any suggestions how? Have visited places like SYFC to shake some hands, revisited it to reshake some hands whom had completely forgotten me!
Unfortunately can't really get to shake hands in SFC. More less the chance to speak to people in T2 flight ops. Was there speaking to some admintrators and was told its difficult to catch the big shots unless you are damn lucky. I left feeling like a wandering ghost. Desperate it sounds but someone had told me "if you can't get past your own inhibiitons, how do you expect others to get past their inhibitions on you?"
comments?
