That st of buying the fn hours was more a provocation than a real suggestion! As I also told that is very (I mean very very very...) bad for the market!

My advice is to do like your collegue that got a job on SEPs and once the market gets better you'll get the hours and mybe even the type for free, with some bond contract probably. I'm sure that Oceania and Asia will lead the next ascending phase of the market and you'll be in a privileged position since you're living there!

I used to do 1 year SEP jobs before gettin my jet job as well, I only had to pay for my type, which is already quite bad, even if at least you're not paying for working... and that was in Europe, that is very likely the worst area for new pilots, especially now!

Good luck, whatever you decide...
