its a struggle
so it is a struggle but apparently u do get there eventually..(so i've been told)
i have the 300hrs multi IR too .... its not te job thats the problems coz there are loads goin around(kingfisher and jet would be the ones to go for at the mo).. so much so that there are kids of 19-20 flying 737s ... no offence to any.... but it just doesnt happen anywhere else in the world... but must say there is slackin quality so much so that kingfisher trainees failed their type rating in toulouse with airbus..so standards have to go up ..marginally anyway !!
the struglle is in dealing with DGCA etc... everything is a matter of months rather than days.. each paper to be issued with a certain amount of urgency requires serious backhands... i have to give my conversion papers in july and still i am not sure of the syllabus they plan on testing me on coz there are two diff papers issued by the DGCA with diff syllabus.
all said and done when u do land that job the future here is nothhing but bright ....lots of flying and pretty decent pays... oppurtunities to move up & on...
so the struggle is all worth it!!!!!
