ghost-rider,

Thankyou very much for your help.

Just For Fun,

I am sorry if you are not happy with your entire industry but I am afraid that's not my problem. Yes I do have an ATPL and yes I do want to get a job flying and yes I will try every approach possible. But I am not looking for charity. If I cannot use my ATPL to fly then I wan't to do a job which utilises some of the knowledge gained.

I currently work as a despatcher and I am surrounded by people with no interest in aircraft or aviation in general. As such, many of them have no desire to learn extra skills and most would be unable to complete a manual loadsheet if our systems went down. I am not trying to knock my colleagues work ethic, but my point is that I live and breathe flying, and if I am lucky enough to gain employment within an Ops dept I will put 110% into my work and take as much from the experience as possible. I am not going to sit on my arse and wait for the Flt Ops Dir. to give me a gig at the sharp end.

I can understand your views but you don't know me so please don't judge me.

Cheers
