Good thread
This has to be one of the best threads I have read in a long time! A lot of true words said from a lot of wise people! I personally worked my butt off to get that first job 24/7 ops and sales for 2 years to eventually get that first type rating!! It takes hard work and persistence!!!!
Only problem for me was my company went bust!! I now sit with two type ratings and just not enough hours (too much time spent in the office trying to get there)! Its not a good place to be! 50 resumes and about 100 phone calls later I can't even get a job sweeping the hangar floor :-( that won't stop me though!! You just have to keep plugging on, making connections, speaking to as many people as possible and something is bound to come round..
