True USMC ... all these guys do is sit here and b!tch about numbers of big jets on order and numbers of FO jobs like they are calculating how long to get to the front of the queue ... not a single word about how can they get off their asses and get into the real world, get some hours and make themselves employable.

It's just sad and ridiculous reading this crap ... it's like if my little sister took singing lessons and now went crying to the government for a law change because she's not a pop star yet ... or sat around with her friends comparing notes about how many people got million dollar record contracts this year, as if that would in some way increase her chance of hitting the big time. Meanwhile every day she sat and waited, another 500 kids graduated from singing school and another 500 gave up in disgust and went back to work in the supermarket.

You can cut it as many different ways as you like guys, but at the end of the day it's the same problem, thousands of kids chasing the dream and only a tiny fraction of you will ever be successful, because that's all the market can absorb.

My advice to you all is stop even thinking about jet jobs in India for now, go and look all over the world for any opening you can find anywhere in any poxy single engine piston aircraft and get some time in it, EARN your right to sit in the big jets
