Lemon- You are right. Next to sweet f*ck all move straight into any job at all in fact. Just call me old fashioned as I try to keep the positive attitude and push the right buttons rather than fork out money I dont have. I didnt land my current job by just sending cv's and there is a lot to be said for showing your face around.
As Ive said before, myself and some very good friends, have been replaced by pilots who were on schemes because they were cheaper. Its not fair but thats business, I agree. It just annoys me when I see the guy/gal with their FATPL, hoovering a PA31 and sweeping the hangar, get overlooked because he doesnt have a more expendable cash flow. It is not a level playing field and never will be no matter.
Well done BPM I know how hard youve worked to get your foot in the door.
Now out of interest Lemon, did you start flying a 757 8 months ago?????
MAX
