OK, I think that as a newly qualified CPL/IR (320 hours TT) I am finally at my wits end!!! I have sent out countless hundreds of CV's with the obligatory few no thank you replies, which strangely enough I am grateful to get - hey at least they took the time to read what I have taken countless hours to prepare!!
So, I think its off to do an FIR for me. Not that I mind really. I just want to fly and fly anything, getting little or no money is just a bonus. My only worry is this - I fork out another £6.5K for the FIR and hey presto there just arnt any FI jobs left because the current instructors are not being hired by the airlines so they aint going anywhere which means zip for us that just want to fly and get a foot in the door!
- cant blame them really.
My question is this, if I do an FI course am I throwing good money after bad, should I take the punt and throw the dice one more time or am I better off going back into that career that I was so happy to leave over a year ago???
