But Onthehorizon
What is the point ? Gaining multi engine time gets you now, nowhere. Okay so your total time goes up, sure, but you still need that all important type rating AND hours on type. So all the time your not earning any money, so where do you get the money from to live and buy the next stage in the game??
So you bust yourself working 2 years maybe 3, get 700-1000 hours if your lucky, all for free and not earning money. Back to the job market, and then you meet people working for free still earning no money, on the a320 or 737 for 2 - 3 years, with the same excuse of needing the hours because they cant find work without type rating and time on type. Now I read, and have met captains flying for free to get that all important PIC time on type.
Its my belief that we should be paid. But, those days are pretty much gone and companies are still trying it on expecting free pilots and sadly they are getting it.
So, not good and dont agree, but, working for free is better than paying for time on type. But to be honest I would never waste your life away, just work in an ordinary job, save the money and cut to the chase and goto the 320 or 737 rating then work for free to get experience on type and increase your time.
Truth is no one cares about hours, only type rated and time on type.
