Hi all,

I have been reading through the many pages of up's and down's and i'm wondering what the general thoughts are on getting a job having obtained a fATPL in a couple of years time, so basically early 2012 for job hunting?

Luckily i have the funds to complete my training (probably integrated) without having to go to the bank so sitting with £70k debt thankfully won't be one of my worries. I have been scanning through pilot recruitment sites and unless you have 500/1000/2000+ hours no one wants to know you which is quite off putting before i even start.

I've wanted to fly since i was at school and i've worked hard over the past few years to build up the funds to do what i've always wanted to do. I've been taking a few hours PPL in the past year as well as ATPL revision to help me into the swing of things and i'm loving it, i just don't wanna miss the boat and look back in 15 years and wish i'd taken the bull by the horns and went through with it.

Any thoughts would be welcome
