Why are they not active on PPRuNe?
I would keep it down if I had spend 50k on a cpl license, and another 20-25k on a rating, without counting food, time lost ...just for 200h of flight or if lucky 500hours in a monkeys company like Ryanair.
be real, airlines will loose 9 billiards this year...do you really think they will hire a wanabe pilot coming out of oxford unless they find someone to pay more and more for some hours to write in a nice empty log book?
Most pilots come back to earth after their training, and discover the dream is over.
this is what I call "the hardest landing" in a pilot's career
!
if you want a job as a pilot in the long run, you need 2 things: Hours and Experience, so best to keep your money, rent a plane and fly!.
or get an IT job, this is where the money is!
