Slingsby,

No probs...I know exactly how you feel!

There are still the odds of jobs around...the likes of Gama were advertising last week for Cessna 406 crews for aerial survey etc...FO position's available. Eastern Airways have also been taking FO's lately. They seem to prefer 1000 hour guys(due to fast command potential) but will take low hours guys also, assuming they self fund the rating.

Give it til March, nothing is likely to happen between now and then.

Get yourself registered with the likes of IPA etc and keep reading up(very day!!) on current airline news. Look at who's adding aircraft etc and keep the cv's 'targeted'. Sending out will nilly isnt going to get you anywhere fast.

As a slight aside, they say it takes on average 18 months to get thats 1st job!
