Well I was hoping that someone else would respond first, but here goes.

Firstly I would suggest if you want an airline job then you have only the one option - CTC.

However, I have found in my rather limited experience, that getting a flying job is rather similar to buying your first house. If anyone offers you anything at all, not necessarily a job but a "I know a pilot who flies for X." Then play it for all it is worth and never say no to anything.

PPJN is a great site, but the slightest whiff of a personal contact is worth a hell of a lot more.

Basically I would suggest to follow every single slightest lead, if you have friends who have friends who are pilots, give them a copy of your CV with a nice letter. They might have other friends, so why not give them a couple?

It works, trust me, I know.
