Trust me, I have sent emails, cv's everywhere. I have flown in Africa, Australia, US and converted to JAA, companies are just not interested unless you are type rated on jet aircraft.
Friends flying in the industry here have all told me, their companies only look at type rated or cadets through places like ctc willing to cough up.
I think for now, we just have to wait until the economy improves and business picks up like 2006/7 levels, then their will be jobs but I am not coughing up 30k to join Ryanair, thats for sure!!
It is funny though, because when things turn in the pilots favour again regarding employment, the experienced guys will offer zero loyalty to their prospective employers due to the slash and burn tactics being used now!!
