I used to wear those same rose coloured spectacles but that is just what they are.
I have 26 years flying experience and despite hundreds of CV postings, emails, telephone calls, sms's, friends in high places etc etc etc for the last year I still can't get a sniff at anything! I am one of thousands.
Please don't get me wrong, I hope you do well, but do not underestimate the situation. It is a total bloodbath out there and I have never known it quite so bad.
This is industry genocide!
Face the reality. Make sure you have a means to support yourself. ie. a real job/career. If you can live while you pass the years trying to find a flying job then all is well. If you NEED that flying job to survive you will starve! Reality, that's all!
