From finishing my CPL/IR took me 4 years to get my first job, and thoroughly enjoying it.

EMU-170

All I want to say is if there is anyone out there thinking of pursuing this career, PLEASE DON'T it's a mugs game. Some people get jobs, majority do not, that’s a fact.
Not sure I agree with that. Everyone on my ATPL course is now working as a professional pilot.

When you start your training you MUST understand what you are getting yourself into in terms of finance, training, job hunting, and have a back up plan! There are so many people I talk to that just dont thoroughly research and understand what they are getting into, and become dazed and disheartened, when they dont find themselves in the right hand seat of a Jet after graduating with 200 hours .
