Can I go on your named and shamed list!

My name is Ivor Betterchance

It's all horses for courses, and if someone wants to do something in this free society, then they should, like it or not comrade.

I'm starting a self sponsored TR soon with a strong possibility of employment at the end, which would possibly take me onto a DEP salary.

My options:

Option 1 - (Having already waited months for any interviews sent CVs left right and centre, even rung people; all negative feedback requires type ratings...funny that)

Current Job, over £40k pa
pay £22K for TR still in +£40K a year job.
Get interview and hopefully offered job for £35-45K pa flying jets with little or no bond.
Put on Mortgage adds c.£150 per month to current payments.

Option 2 -

Wait, send CV, more waiting, send more CVs wait some more and more and more...............still nothing.......oh........TP job earning £19k a year for umpteen years.

Option 3 -

Give up +£40K a year job pay £7k on getting an intructor rating,
Work as an instructor on £10-15K if you're lucky for 2 years and then possibly get interview with a regional carrier earning a £25K and bonded for 4 years on an equally crap pay. Probably looking at 5 years down the line before you actually get onto a jet.


Option 2 & 3 probably suits a young bloke.

But, ss you can see, for me option 1 is the most suitable situation at this moment so I am justified in what I do.
