Wow!
It's taken me a good 30mins to read all the comments in this particular thread and it gets a bit snappy from time to time....I hope I'm not going to be flamed too!
However, I can appreciate the points of all parties (including Scroggs who is VERY scary!). I must admit that I'm going modular just 'cause I can't afford to do it any other way, so in spite of this thread making me want to go and saw my own head off, I'd rather try and be a little more productive.
Scroggs (& WWW), if I'm going to have to obtain 1000/1500 odd hours before I'm going to get a look into a heavy jet job with someone like Virgin, what is going to be the best way of doing it (cheapest or most cost effective route would be best). How bad do you think things will get in the job market for recently graduated pilots? (I expect to be qualified in 2 years thereabouts). I've only just drawn on the first part of my CDL so if things are looking hopeless then it would be better for me to bug out now rather than getting myself into yet more debt (and I've just passed my Class 1 medical too!!)
Your words of wisdom are, as always, much appreciated.......although the truth really hurts sometimes!
