come on captjns, you and all those who hate p2f pilots is because you are worried that the terms and salary for pilots including captain ( when you become one ) will be in the downward trend. Whether you like it or not it will happen and you are just selfish and worry about your own welfare.
Those who hate p2f are mostly current pilots who have already a job and the hours hence they do not require to do p2f and could not care less about others especially the jobless pilots..
Herman have my highest respect, the willingness to take the risk and go ahead with his career rather than do nothing and END his career.
Yeah yeah, we heard about being a FI, ferry flight, jump pilot and bla bla bla, or even an airline sponsored type rating ( which is pretty rare these days ) ONLY to be slap in the face that after accumulating thousands of hours in piston, they tell you, you need min 500 jet hours and the famous phrase "WE ONLY HIRE LOCALS or you need to be a citizen or hold local passport"
captjns,if you are an unemployed pilot today and after sending your resume to almost every airline worldwide with 99% no reply at all, will you do the same thing? or you can hang your expensive cpl blue book in the wall as an expensive memento?
Kudos to herman and would be great if you can share with us struggling jobless pilots on how and which airline you do it so we can also launch our piloting career. There are plenty of scam around and we really need experience from people who have successfully launch their pilot career.
