I think you have to give yourself a timeline. For me, I said 12 months and if nothing turns up then bite the bullet and do the FI rating. Networking is absolutely the key to success and I have been fortunate that a number of very kind people have helped steer my cv towards the right desk. As a result im confident something might happen soon so i'll hold off on the FI for now. In the meantime, im keeping current - glider towing, right seating a King Air and flying at my local club. Air taxi would be great but sadly I dont have the hours. All good advice from the previous couple of posts, you've got to be proactive ladies and gents!
