I have a question which I'm hoping that perhaps more experienced people in the European industry may be able to answer.
I'm in the process of reading through this thread, by the way.
I am personally interested in the modular route given that I am not interested in a fast track to flying jets for airliners. Well, I am, however I am also realistic. The idea that you can just waltz in Easyjet and land a co-pilot job is, to me, unrealistic.
The real question I'm asking is if there is a realistic chance to start flying commercially in small a/c first and then of course move up to bigger and bigger gigs. Someone in this thread mentioned Q400s. I'm thinking ATR42s, or even sustaining my young self as an instructor. One would gradually move up as they acquire experience.
I'm sure that this is a possible route, but my question is, is it a good one?
