Myself I am not to arrogant to do ****ty jobs. I also applied to work in a factory. I dont care what kind of work I have to do. As long as I dont have to hold up my hands to get state allowances.
Now I am working as FA in an growing company. Lately an Purser is hired as FO in this airline. Will start to do his TR next month. And the nice thing is, we dont have to pay for our rating and the salary is actually pretty good.
As you say Mad Jock. Absolutely true. If you are willing to work hard and open to do anything to work, then you will find your luck.
For me I hope this will be my lucky shot and make a great start in my carreer as a pilot in this company.
