Left high school, went to a combined uni course and ATPL theory.
Ppl hour building in the states
Finished hour building and commercial training in Bournemouth (modular)
After training sent all the cvs waited...waited some more nothing.
Started in the industry as cabin crew for a low cost, got to network and get a better view in industry. Did this for two years along with some sim instructing (no tr required and great jet practice!)
After three years, just finished my 737 TR and look forward to taking to the skies.
Don't sit around waiting for the job, you need to NETWORK and go find it!
