I saw your post asking a similar-type question on another thread. Well GA aka gen-av has its ups and downs. As with most countries and places; you really gotta know some people to get you through the door. There still is a lot of work, after that, like putting in an 8-10 hour (or even more) day without pay sometimes. Don't worry, that doesn't happen too often. On the brighter tip though, the pay is okay if you get to fly daily (450-850/hour) for SEL. Tax free a lot of times. And there are several charter companies and flight schools that would allow you to fly with other people/companies when you have nothing to do for them. Getting a MEL job with a fresh license would be a little tougher cause the operators would probably want pilots with a little more experience (500-1000hours). It doesn't mean they wont let you fly their SEL a/c's though. Work on staying current and being good at your craft. All the while simultaneously establishing a good network with pilots, operators, and enthusiasts from all walks. They will remember you when you leave a lasting impression.
