I'm in full agreement with FFF. I understand that it's easy to lose your sense of humour in this game, but it was our decision to do this...never forget that. There is obviously an over supply of pilots at the moment, a situation that is likely to change.
I qualified earlier in the year and now work in the industry, paying the bills but sadly not flying yet. Sitting less patiently now, as I can see first hand the market for pilots improving, which is surely good news for all of us.
The advice that I have been given so far, and I don't mean to preach, is to network as much as you can! Also, do anything flying/aviation related as it may open the door. Go the extra mile (quite literally) to fly in locations or aircraft that the majority may not consider. Put yourself out. If you really want it, you'll make it happen. I have seen the most flexible, canny and determined pilots succeed. Good luck!
