"Localiser Green..... Don't know who you know but I don't know anyone who got a job on a nice shiny jet six months after being given their CPL. Many people took ten years to find a flying job and that was when the situation was far better than it is now."
Obviously you don't know who I know then. In fact I know 2 guys who got taken straight into 757 right seats in 1999 with little more than 200 hours to their name.
Several others got into regionals (ATR / Saab affairs) and now fly A320/A330. One guy got into a well-known low-cost airline on 737s with 200 hours
post September 11th. Don't make out that it doesn't happen because it does, and in (several) years it will again.
If you're so obsessed about "getting out" of the industry and working in Burger King please do so and leave some room for those with the dedication and passion. If you like, I will gladly help you with your job-hunt
