Thanks for your reply Bill.
I just want to add more weight to my previous post :
I have already broken into one "closed shop" industry and am now the boss, YOU MAKE YOUR OWN LUCK....
As a commercial diver, very similar to flying in many ways, its who you know and does your face fit are you prepared to arse lick and back stab others. Everything needs a new ticket that you have to pay for. No job security unless your dad's the supervisor....After years of naysaying from everyone I met within the industry now I am all the dad's boss (mines a dentist,) so its all about character and desire thats all....
I did it, I loved it and its time to move on...I'm 30..
If I can manage to get myself into a positon in terms of the right qualifications and hours
I will find a job, I dont want it handed to me or guaranteed I just want the right licence and hours to get the interview I will do the rest!
it might not be what I dream of or want but I wil get there in the end, so will any and every other "wannabe"...(Perhapse flying for air zimbabwe rather than virgin but character doesnt mean charmed!)
To my point - I am looking for pragmatic advice - I have tried not sticking my head over the parapet or run the risk of repeating everyother wannabe on here but still here is my question,
IN 2009 - if i want to work as a pilot for bizjets airlines or instructing - Whats the cheapest modular route?
PPL Night ME - ATPL Theory - fATPL - Now I have my ticket I need to build 1000 hours right, only way is instructing - NowI apply to airlines, Bizjets etc?
Just a another thought :
So I Invest £50,000 for a £17-25,000 a year job.... where was the web development course leaflet?????
