I am an inexperienced First Officer ( in my view) 1000 hours on type I come from an Aviation Family and wanted to continue as this always appeared to be a proud professional profession. I self sponsered my way through my ATPL and type rating and have a position now , even though I had to sign a training bond for a type rating I already had. However new start, new country for my young family and myself ...... HOW Wrong.
The last 6 months have consisted of my recurrent training whereby the Instructor fell asleep in the simulator. I am flying with inexperienced Captains whom are thrown into the left seat ready or not once they get to 3000 hours. And sadly the professional older Captains are walking out......... The aircraft are tatty and worn........ The Management are just not interested, ........... Is it the same with all companies or am I just unlucky....... To be honest I feel that there must be better ways of earning a living....
