Bit of Advice Please

Hi all,

Right, getting a little bit frustrated at the moment as i'm sure everyone else is who isn't yet employed in an office at 5 miles high.

Anyhow, just after a bit of advice, I'm 21 and hold a Frozen JAR ATPL with 240 hours, i went modular by the way, just out of interest how many people do you know who went modular with similar type of hours and age got straight into the airlines??

Reason i ask is i am considering a FI Rating, is it worth it at the moment, or should i just sit the current situation out for a few more months??

I am sick of being in the catch 22 situation where I have 240 hours and am qualified to join an airline however they want 1500 hours with 500 hours jet time, even turboprop airlines want at least 1000 hours fixed wing. So the only way to do this is to sit in a C152 bashing holes in the sky unti li reach the magical figure. Im not paying for a Type Rating, i'd probably have more luck on the lottery.

Cheers.
