I think gator 32 seems to think if you have a T/R you can just choose what airline you want to work for! I have a 75TR with low hours, and have been applying to airlines since last summer, with no luck yet. I have had some interviews but the furthest I have got is a hold pool for one operator. This is great, but when you are not sure how big the pool is, or where you stand in it, means you have to keep searching. I have heard people waiting a few weeks to a year, so you can see the problem.

Airlines at the moment are short of experienced aircrew. Yes there are plenty of jobs out there, but reading the min. requirements 500-1000hrs seems to be the norm.

There are a few good operators that will take low hours guys, but it means the job market is quite a bit smaller than it might be, with a disproportionate number of people applying.

We just need to keep on applying, we will get there in the end. It is just a matter of hoping the money doesn't run out before we get there.

Good luck to all job hunters!!
