The official update for second officers also arrived after the first email.

"At this stage, the manpower plan for 2013/14 does not indicate a requirement for direct entry Second Officers, outside those already in a cadet pilot sponsorship program with Qatar Airways."

The thing is, there are no other pilot jobs for people just out of the school.
No para-ops, no glider towing, no crop flying, almost no instructor flying (at least without experience not). Not even dispatcher or ramp agent jobs around at the moment. Abroad they only hire nationals and don't encourage foreigners to join either. So else than Qatar Airways, which currently does not give any support for us at all, thats about it with the jobs for us out there.
Even Africa Cessna Ops require 500 hrs.
