I'm afraid that those with 300 purchased hours are in for a huge shock if they think they will walk into BA or Virgin or Emirates or any number of contract jobs around the world. It will not happen. You just wasted 130K, hope you enjoyed your 6 months as a pilot.

The low cost model has only a limited life span before rising oil prices and a raft of proposed taxes and environmental laws, all designed to keep the riff raff out of the sky make the business model obsolete. The ones left flying will be the rich, governments and the military. There will still be jobs around but have a trawl through the experience requirements for the far East or Middle eastern positions. At least 1000 hours and more usually 4000+ with significant heavy jet time. No mention of 300 hour cadets. Sorry chaps.

A few, very few will still get on, just like they always have. The rest of you had better start considering other ways to service those massive debts.

Flame away, stick your mortgaged fingers in your ears and shout "NA NA NA", truth always hurts. Your time is coming to a deserved end. I'm sure the training providers will be eternally grateful to you for making them all rich. They will have nothing but sympathy for your plight as they enjoy the good life, financed by promises sold to mugs.
