MBJ. I posted that little 'Gem'. The gentleman is after a Police line pilot position and when things pick up again - as they undoubtedly will - then low paid Police line pilot jobs will not be difficult to obtain - as they were a short time ago for suitably qualified applicants.
You may well be referring to the better paid corporate sector jobs that demand more in the way of qualifications, experience and contacts. I was not. However, these jobs were available only a couple of years ago. I know because I had plenty of freelance work and job offers from charter and corporate operators who 'could not find pilots'.
