So that'l be like the rest of us then, take whatever job you can get as a first job. Instead of "your offering me a shiny jet job with who? I'm very sorry I don't work for anyone you know, don't you know how much better I'm trained than all those people who have trained anywhere else" Sorry a bit Tongue in cheek, but some of the things written on here are amusing.. ie Being selective who you want to fly for when low houred and looking for a first job.
Get a job with anyone and you'll never look back, once you've got experience your ideas may change about your ideal employer, or you'll be in a much better position to get a job with Thomas Cook, or just sit it out in hope of the right scheme happening and losing several years of your life waiting instead of flying.
Good luck in your endeavours, some difficult decisions to be made, nothing right or wrong as long as your happy. It's a long long road to the first job let alone the ideal job, if that exists anymore..
