Aviation is a very cruel, unfair, and unforgiving industry
Very true. I am aware that 500 P2F will not gaurentee you a job, but your more likley to be hired than the likes of someone with a frozen ATPL, MECIR and 250 hours on a PA28 or 172. the message from the start was that a frozen ATPL and IR are not enough these days. the real tradgedy with Airline jobs is that the longer P2F is around the worse the salary's will become and working condition's.
