My advice to anyone considering a career in aviation. Throw in an application to any airline cadetship you can. It will give you a massive head start in your career. You will be significantly advantaged over pilots that came through GA. Your seniority number in the company will be the key here. Also, the more jet time you have under your belt the better and more abundant the opportunities are for you when looking for work elsewhere. You might not have the "real" flying experience or have much of a character in the cockpit but who cares you've just saved yourself up to 10 years of your life getting to where you are now! I've been in the game for 7 years now with over 1000 hours in command of turboprop RPT and I can't even get a sniff from an airline like Jetstar. I only wish these cadetships existed when I was training! It's a golden opportunity so I say go for it or you'll forever be at the end of the queue...
