Where have u been all these years mate?!
In different cockpit (C172, C310, C208, Navajo, King Air, DA42, B737NG, CJ1...) in different places in the world.
KAG, not sure if im getting this ''self fulfilling back-up plan'' right
My point is after spending time and money to become an engineer, it's quite natural to become engineer instead of trying to get a "not solid"
(yes nothing is sure or solid concerning future pilot job) C210 job across the world.
More important: I am not fighting against you. Defenitely not.
I somewhat understand your situation and wish you good luck. Meanwhile I say what I really beleive about the european pilot wannabe situation. We all agree you guys cannot continue like that. Some reality check cannot hurt.
