1980s. and early 1990s was so much different than today..Early 1990s I got scholarship fresh after finished my high school. Easy way to get job, bonded 10 years..didnt have to pay a single dime.
2013..lots of my friend's kids couldnt get interviewed...Same answer: we only need experienced, with hours on typed. Unless u are citizen of that said airline. (Now it even doesnt work for many countries, due to over supply)
Now all around the world, flooded with new kids , +200hrs, just finish their CPL-ME-IR...
By the way, I'm Asian..
European keep coming to this area to get their first gig...Wouldnt work..
The place I worked, didn't extend expats working permit now. So, good luck with non experienced, non type rated, non citizen...
Anyway, I would say, a job is when you are paid a decent money ...not the one that get free lunch/dinner after towing a glider or banner.
Dont' listen to me..I'm just an old chap...
