£15k-£18k. Not very useful as you have no time on type. As I said in another posting round here somewhere, you may get your CV to the desk and not in the bin straight away - but time on type is king.

Would personally blow the dough on an instructor rating (if it floats your boat) and gain useful experience teaching people. Or buying a block of multi-time, anything that racks up the hours is good, but some elements of flying are seen as more undisciplined and therefore frowned upon more than others. Unless of course the interviewing pilot comes from a background such as Meat-bombing or Glider-towing and then you have instant rapport.

Talk to the IPA. Their advice will be better than mine.
