Its easy to work for free, when you have less than 250 hours and that i could have a licence without a job at the end of the course.
+ how do you get your first job, when so many people are now in the same position as me with a Frozen Atpl licence and i am a year on without any flying job and ratings to renew.
what can you do apart from offer to work for free, until i we unlock are FI(R) rating!!!
one of my main reasons to work for free is that the more hours i have the more an airline or bussiness jet company may take me on, in the further. otherwise i will be sitting around with less and less flying experince as someone else with an instructors job.
you have to do something!!! otherwise you will not get anywhere in the aviation world!!!
