I am sure all newly qualified pilots feel the same mate and even experienced guys can sympathise with you, as most of us guys have been in the same situation, of trying to get your first job.

I work for Bmi, and it was great to see this summer (2011) the company taking some guys out of the hold pool to replace guys who went off the BA. A couple of these guys were guys with little or no experience, but had been working as cabin crew for a couple of years with Bmi.

It was great to see the guys who had been making the right contacts and sitting it out in the cabin only to be given the chance to move into the sharp end. The Airbus type rating and line training was taken care of by the company and the guys are now online and really enjoying the job.

As I am sure you are aware there are many ways into this job, and 9 times out of the 10 it takes a considerable amount of effort. Stay positive and keep plugging away.
