Pilot Pay v Experience
As a recently qualified CPL(H) I have found getting work almost impossible. As stated earlier in the thread the North Sea operators are short of pilots but refuse to invest in training. I can think f no other profession, doctor, lawyer, bus driver, where you are expected to continue to fund once the initial qualificaion has been gained. A doctor straight from university is as much use a snooze button on a smoke alarm but is getting paid from the first job. We are expected to get a CPL(H) and then find another £30K for an IR. Isn't having spent upwards of £60K enough of a committment? I am doing freelance tour work and pleasure flying aiming to get above the magic 500 hours where a turbine operator might look at me. It is no way to treat a work force.
