Well said GSXTY
Great to hear that their are still people out there who have a single minded one track aim in becoming an airline pilot. Although you may all have spent alot of money on flying you have to remain positive and think of the long term gains.
Dont discredit instructing or bug smashing because it will eventually make you a real pilot who has alot more hands on expereince.
I am a wannabe in OZ and I can assure you that hundreds of pilots with commercials here would love a job flying a little rust bucket.
I personally have a job doing everything from instructing to IFR charter to get the illusive four digits in the logbook. Not 300 hours which everyone seems to comlain about in the UK.
Instructing may not appeal to everyone however teaching someone to fly themselves and see their face at the end of it makes the hard work worth while.
Keep working hard all you Wannabe's and it is you guys I hope to see in the bars around the world after you have piloted you jets around the skies.
