Tbh I'm actually enjoying doing GA flying. Whilst financially I need to break into airline work, I'm starting to value gaining experience through GA. Yes it might not be flying at FL100 atm, but it's a totally different ball game doing GA outside of the clutches of your FTO. It's my licence now so I've got to protect it, myself and my passengers (not in that order mind you!). I'm meeting interesting people and perhaps one day I'll meet someone who might give me an opportunity, be it taking an A/C to Exeter or a desk job in an airline. Other than the likes of Ryanair and Easy, I can't see many airlines opening their doors to 200 hours cadets unless you know the right person which is sadly still how it seems to work. I guess it boils down to money at the end of the day, will have to look at things in a month and then decide. On a seperate note, VFR flying is as challenging as IFR, or so I've rediscovered!
