good post shanx
and tangowithtushar does your dreams just stop with stalling or
do u apply the correct recovery procedure as well.. if u did so.. u are
lucky enough to practise flying in ur dreams
Now after reading shanx's post i realised one thing that i ve been missing
in united states as an flight instructor .. the girls part..
never knew it
..as such i was flying every day as instructor so really do not care about
alcohol and i dont have any other vices but missed out on the girls though..
JUST KIDDING GUYS !
As an flight instructor the most satisfying aspect
would be the making of an Aviator rather than just a Pilot.
Let me tell you this, a person who comes to the field of aviation with the love and passion for it are the ones that survive and not the ones that come for other factors..
I am very sure an number of you guys would fly an airplane irrespective of the salary you are being paid .. just for the love of flying u ve got in you..
Let me get this straight..
DO NOT GET TERRIFIED BY THE 4000 CPL HOLDERS BEING JOBLESS ..
Hardly 1/8th of them are employable..
Many hold CPLs just to give a competition and nothing else..
So you guys keep trying..
There is a wealth of knowledge in pprune.. i would recommend you
keep studying and update yourself with ..
My Suggestion to a fresh CPL Holder:
Yes times are bad.. but if you ve really got it in you then its really a matter of time..
1st consider your options.. dont keep looking at the heavy metal jets..
there are various options out there.. what matters to pilot is that he stays in sky as long as possible..
2nd consider being an flight instructor only if you think you ve got what it
takes to teach a student.. You may be an excellent pilot but if you dont communicate your ideas and thoughts then avoid being an instructor..
3rd look keep an eye on a lot of charter companies out there.. u neva know when they might start hiring..
4th look for other jobs such as jump pilot or bush pilot etc..
If you are unable to make it into the flying position..
Then keep yourself and your license up to date.. remember if you are really passionate about flying you will definitely make it to that right seat..
Try looking for some kind of jobs that are associated with aviation in a way it makes it easier to getting hired through contacts you develop there..
Also do a lot of flying on the PC Flt Sim .. especially the instrument part..
There is some great information in our pprune tech log sub forum.. gain an insight from some highly experienced pilots/engineers who post their thoughts on their aircraft .. A really great place to be..
Flying is afterall a constant learning process..
THE TRUTH:
Also remember being a pilot, we must be extremely humble .. For your information.. no airline gives a damn about what we first officers think..
we are the least cared people in the airline.. so if u ve got any DESI STUDENT PILOT ATTITUDE.. drop it off immedeately.. it will really help you..
Last but not least. look for the latest updates i post in my Indian Aviation Vacancy Thread..
All the best
