Thanks Booglebox for the reply.
I'll pass on the info to the crew I was chatting to last week. Not too much has changed in 10 years by the sounds of things. I've always said it mainly comes down to the instructor and as you inter-mated, there is an element of luck here for everyone.
Just hope like so many others who invest such large amounts of money into the dream, it works out for them. The crew members I tried to pass on my advise to seem very switched on and independent, so I'm confident they will find their way.
Keep on trucking, took me 3 plus years of instructing, then finally FLYBE (Q400), GB (A320/21) and then finally Virgin (B744).
Got to say looking back, some of the best memories were in the days I instructed and I learnt a great deal.
Everyone will get there, just keep motivated and when it looks hopeless just keep on pushing.
I do appreciate things are harder now, since you have to fund so much more, but the same principle applies.
