Decline of GA
An honest thought for a change from a sky burner.....
Please discuss or criticise at will.....
Having worked in GA for many years and struggling to pay of training debts (let alone buy a house or new car etc) I thought of applying to the bigger companies and regionals.
Was unlucky with the interview at Qlink but was not current on twins and didnt have chief pilot background etc.
Applied for many charter/ scenic jobs similar to what I have been doing for years and was told a couple of days ago by one company that I have "too many hours".?
Applied for twin jobs and advised "do not meet hour requirements for contract/insurance requirements".?
I am not saying I am anything special and don't want anyone to crack the violins out but I think I have had enough. Like Dick Smith said the industry will destroy you if you don't get out in time.
I was actually dreaming of an old public sector job I had a few years ago the other day. That has got to be a bad sign surely?
