HA - back when I started out I would have flooded your email for both of those. Been there done that and no need to go back to the private ops world.
It does seem that very few want to do the hard yards. I've had to twist some arms in my time to help people out.
As I posted a while ago - met a bloke with 200 or so hrs (wanted a job with us). He told me how he could have had a job on a station "but hey it was only 5 hrs a week..and they work you really hard when your not flying".
My thoughts? "Are you kidding bloke - you got 200 hrs - take what you can get and you might be surprised what is on offer when you proove yourself".
I even thought about doing a year as a station hand to improve my chances at getting a job on a STATION. Luckily I got the job before that... still I ended up doing a lot of ringing in between flying.
Hope the airlines can pick those that really want it.
