What respectable airline wants you with your 500 hours from eaglejet or any of the shower of sh*te production line training companies?
- BA - nope, experienced only should apply
- Aer Lingus - nope, either experienced or largely integrated only. You might be lucky if you are modular but you had better be a cut above the rest
- Midland - nope. Happy to train but not employ
- Easy - nope (CTC only please)
- Ryanair - nope, integrated low houred willing to self sponsor or high houred with lots of P1 time for a few LHS jobs only
- Charters - CTC would be a good start or perhaps a TP background at a push if your face fits
Go off and waste your money on 500 hours but expect to be flying for lord knows who in god knows where and hold on for the ride. Don't expect the above airlines to be interested when you have a few thousand hours and want to come back to Western Europe either.
