Instruction is a real job with huge responsabilities, not a market to be studied by a jobless new CPL holder.
So how to deal with new jobless CPL holders? Make them train some new CPL holders. How much sense does it make? It looks like a pyramid scheme scam.



There is a time to think, and a time for action. You already have your CPL, ATPL theory, and MCC, time for action now. Focus, and maintain your heading while you are in the game and your fresh CPL skills are still with you. Aviation that's not philosophy and thinking about theories, and you already have spent the big bucks anyway: ACTION, go and fly, meet some people, change country. You should be able to deal with an engine fire and land with part of your airplane burning (it has happened, it could be part of the job), so it's time for you to deal with you career even without the structure of the training environment you just got out from.

Go fly a glider, get a caravan F/O position with susi air, find a crappy C210 job in Africa, keep some money for a rating (it has almost became the rule to pay for a type for some companies, pilot is a slave worker), go work at the dispatch of a small company, move your ass be a pilot.

Now that you realized the nice airlines were not waiting for you, go and get some flying experience and enjoy. Next step will come on time if there is enough oil available and if we are not back in a recession by then...
