I'm in the same boat. But I don't even have 1/2 a rating, as I was on the 767, and altough we completed the technical, and some of the ground courses, a couple of hours before we were due to fly out to the UK for the sim training, everything was cancelled without explaination.
I can't say that I have ever felt this much like quiting aviation and working as a waitress somewhere... Although I have sent out a number of CV's again, it will probably be months before anything happens. Tomorrow I'm off to instruct again, but at the current cost of everything and what we earn as instructors, it almost feels like it will make more financial sense to sit at home...
Not a word from Nationwide. Chatherine is the only one who at least kept in contact, but I think she probably knows about as much as we do...
I did not even get my month's training pay...
So now what? What next? Besides taking my family beyond break-point with my silly ideas of being a mom and airline pilot, is it even worth continuing. I have not yet netted a cent out of flying. Its the cost of getting the CPL licence, every bloody conversion, the instructors ratings, instructor conversions, travelling, baby-sitters, licence fees, medicals... Earning peanuts as an instructor... getting a break and then having the carpet pulled out... Maybe it is time to quit... Cut my losses...
