Mind recommending another carrier to apply for then? Still haven't received a suggestion.
Stay away from the industry! As simple as that. Here's why:
- To get a rating + job on a SH jet you have to fork out ~100'000$.
- The first 5 years you work for peanuts (or less), you just survive.
- The next 5 years you try to change job to get a ultra fast upgrade to start making a decent life.
- During these 10 years you can survive, but you're stuck on your initial investment, not possible to repay the debts.
- The next 5 years you can either start putting money aside for the education of your kids, or have no family, or start paying back your debts.
- The next five years you make decent money, but you will start feeling the pinch of inhumane rostering, and you're only 45!
- Reaching 50, and if lucky enough not having your wife run away with half of the meager savings and the kids to get a life, you might have almost repaid your debt, but ruined your health and family and you can finally start building up your retirement fund.
- With 55 you are too shattered to sustain the former wet dream of LH/WB. Part time will not be allowed in your company (they prefer the young, eager, naive newbees who just paid their conversion course). You will be slowly bullied out.
- With 60 you finally decided to set a miserable end to your plight. You don't have enough for a decent retirement, but that does not matter, you'll die within the next 2 years anyway.
