First step on the ladder

It is the old problem of supply v. demand. Elsewhere it has been stated that there are 900 UK issued fATPL holders without flying employment.

The good news is that Easy are intending to recruit big time, which means that hopefully a lot of places at the bottom of the food chain will open up in at least the turbo prop market.

Until that comes to pass, the best advice to anybody undertaking training is to do well. Obtain high marks in the exams, and pass the skill tests & IR at the first attempt. Having said that, all is not lost if you have the occasional disappointment along the way.

Keep current [for that sim ride] and impress the training team at the interview. Don't dump all you learnt for the written exams, and that includes performance A.

Capable students continue get recommended to airlines.

Destiny is in your own hands. Hard work will have its rewards.
