There are many on this forum that have been dragged through the mud in order to achieve the covetted position of that airline career or in fact any flight deck career. However as Brainstorm has previously mentioned there's a story to tell but why hold back. We all know that especially within aviation we learn alot from each other's experiences. The job hunt is perhaps no different and after all don't we all enjoy a good type rating diary or "my first 50 hours", "diary of an IR student", etc..... Come on chaps and chapesses
spill the beans. The flight training syllabus is preset and we all follow the same path but like any scheme of graduation within society "where do they go", "what happened to them", this would be an equally interesting story.
To learn from the mistakes or oversights of others is compelling to say the least. It's certainly not a competition between who made the most sacrifices or just 'walked it' as we all have different circumstances. Nevertheless it would be great to hear in a supportive and mutually respectful way of how wannabes got a foot onto the ladder.
As always good luck to all and keep up that smile and spirit!
