No offense intended!
Just illustrating my frustation at this industry.
Airline management is not really pulling towards flight safety, even though they like to state so in the media. We, the pilots, are the only group with true interest in (the expensive and crew demanding) flight safety.
Yes, take that first job! But don't stop applying other places. Hopefully those airlines with the worst working conditions will have such high turnaround of pilots, increasing cost, that they will have to improve their contracts.
By the way, Norwegian Air Shuttle hire very low timers (300 hours) even though their requirement is high. So keep at it.
