Ah VT,
You say you've followed some of my career. Fair enough.

After I finished my instructor rating I got a part time instructor's position immediately. When I was ready for a full time flying position I shifted every thing about 3,000km to go for that opportunity.

I waited about 5 months for my full time flying position. Was it on a B737, no. Was it on a Dash 8? No. It was on a C207. $A20,000 pa.

For my jet job I travelled about 10,000km from "home" to get it after flying a Shed for a year or so. Oh, and to get that flying job I took a job in Ops.

No opportunities? If you want to fly for Ryanair, fine but please do not fly for free.
