I presume you've done aptitude tests and critically assessed your own abilities to determine whether you are actually suitable for a career as a commercial pilot?
Yes, this is a good tip actually. I applied and did the tests at the 2 big integrated providers,,no problems at all. Also I have a close family member who is retired airline working in simulators so through this connection I have generated some decent contacts.
I think the industry is just more on it's arse than I had anticipated.
Integrated candidates in addition to the points I stated in an earlier post are also more attractive because of airlines being able to pickup the "training" bond which has great tax incentives from a company point.
