forget it!


Get a $20.000 Single engine CPL, maybe with a basic flight instructor rating, then go around the world to get some experience
experience on what? 3000h on single engine?low paid salary.

I know many guys who have been instructor in flight schools. They have never found a job with their 3000h on SEP.Most have simply given up and have now a normal life!.


Companies want turbine or jet.who cares of a FI with XXXX hours?
better to try to join an airline with 200h than spending more money in a flight instructor license.

really, forget this profession.
Anyone starting training, will soon realize it' s a total waist of money. Even if you land a job, by exemple on a ATR, and log 1000h , then what will be your next job?, you still don't have the 1000h on jet.

why not start training when the market needs pilot? and be sponsored by an airline.

WHAT'S THE POINT TO HAVE A NICE LICENSE, IF IT 'S TO LOAD CARGO PLANES IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT, WITH A **** SALARY AND NO FUTURE AT ALL ??? GET REAL !
