Hard Yards
Call me old school to but I consider it paramount to do the hard yards. I spoke with a mate last night who do that just that and made it into Cathay.
As for the bare CPL having 200TT and the operator requiring 350TT, why not just send you resume in and why not just jump on the phone and see what your chances are. If you don't ask you don't get and it takes no time at all in the scheme of things.
I have a bare CPL and MECIR and rest assured I will be flooding the market with resume and phone calls when the time comes. If in the meantime anyway has any jobs going drop me a line
