What can I say? Been there done that!! AND IT S*CKS!! But look at it from a status point of view. You are now a qualified aviation professional (Pilot). That’s a huge asset. There are plenty of jobs around on the ground for good folk with a well founded knowledge of flight operations. Check out the BAA, aircraft manufacturer, consultant, airline etc. or even try your self as an instructor. Just see to it that you make enough dosh to pay of your loan, continue flying and support your life. That way you’ll be within aviation, you could build upon your flight knowledge and experience and you’ll know what the flight job situation is from the inside.
I know it’s not a seat in the pointy bit of an aircraft as you (I and all the others) have hoped for but our time will come. And by the way, just doing flight related jobs on the ground can be rewarding at times…too.
Don’t give up mate. Cheers.
Ooh, and Friday, not a chance mate!! We’ll never reduce competition on our behalf.
Take care all.
