Sorry to jump in , but at Portsharbor.

You can state that we need in EASA land also a 1500 rule? Now good luck with that. There is already a huge lack of pilots in USA for the Airline business.

Myself I would have loved to start to do some instructing or a TP job. But only now the market is opening.
I am also of the opinion that it is better for general skills to start small and improve your basic flying skills on small TP's, but there is a big difference of Aviation in EU and USA.

In USA you have quiet many Air Taxi's, Crop dusting etc. Such we dont have here in EU. So how should you get 1500 hrs then?
Instructing jobs are also extremely scarce . Which means there will be not enough pilots trained and not enough FI's.

Just my way of thinking.

Again, I was also willing to start with small stuff. I dont feel to good for such jobs. I would have loved it, but such jobs are not so much available.

I tried to apply for Sky Diving Dropping jobs, but to do rating on Pilatus you had to pay 8K and you need at least 500 hours tt.
