How good are job prospects (excluding the airlines which I know about!) generally after one has the minimum hours (say 200-250) to gain other jobs such as air taxi, freight or instructing? What are the feasible (and most likely) options for a minimum hours fATPL holder?
For each job, what are their minimum requirements?
If one owns an Instructor's Rating, is he/she then able to get an instructing job relatively easily (compared to a RHS in a jet)?
To be honest, I would be a little disheartened if I put all that money and hard work in to get the bare minimum to find that I need a load more hours just to meet minimum requirements for ANY job.
At this point in time, I would love to be paid for any type of flying, but just out of interest (as I might have a small loan to pay back) what is basic pay for instructing?
I saw that some of the programmes in USA provide you with an internship as an instructor at the end of it - what's the pay like comparative to back here in the UK?
If anyone can give me some insight, it would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you very much,
I love this site!!!!
