TYPE RATING or INSTRUCTOR RATING
Like many of those out there who have qualified and are not among those of the halo sponsored variety I am stuck for a job.
Having worked for AERAD making charts for 10 months, I am thoroughly bored. I have come to the crossroads where we will all reach unless we are lucky.
An instructor rating beckons, but my worry is how many others are thinking about this. There are only a few schools in the Uk where you can have a reasonable chance of a job afterwards and some students to actually fly. USA is not an option anymore as I already have a CPL. I am not sure about Australia, SA or Canada, does anyone know if there are VISA requirements there ?
I am also considering a SHORTS type rating and then presenting myself to an airline. Is this advisable ? Even if I have the rating, I still have no experience.
Any advice would be of great help to me. And any suggestions of good flying schools, and also any places where I can do a SHORTS type rating ?
Thanks guys and happy flying ...
