At the moment, it is VERY tough out there, no matter where on the planet you are. Trust me, you aren't the only one with the "I'll go anywhere" mindset. I have so many friends who have finished training in the past 18 months who are just sitting around unemployed, there is so little out there.
In the UK alone, there are many, many 200hr CPL holders churned out every month with no sniff of a job anywhere in the world, and that includes instructing.
I think the debate on age already has it's own thread here, but just to add, I'm a 21 year old F/O for a UK loco on the A319, my sim partner was 40 (also a new F/O).
benish: As far as I know the US aviation inustry is in a far, far worse state than in Europe (Pilot job-wise), that combined with the fact it's very unusual to find a 200hr FAA CPL holder in the RHS of a Jet/Turboprop Airline pretty much gives him no chance in hell.
To all those who've just finished training, I really wish you the best, I don't envy your situation.
