Guys! Having a self-sponored CPL/IR does not guarantee you an airline job after completing training. It is about the same as completing a degree and working your way up to good job, which could take years. Persisitance and the willingness to venture out of your comfort zone can gain you valuable experience abroad, which will improve your competiveness when applying a for a job back home.
I have met quite a few self-sponsered guys here and overseas who have finished flight school and are waiting at home for an airline to call them up. Chances are, it is not going to happen, at least not within this financial climate.
Success will come eventually, but not without hard work and a touch of luck.
All the best!
