Hi guys

Considering that someone has gratuated from OAA or CTC (the top dogs in aviation training) with his/her aprox. 200-250 hours both single and multi engine. Knowing that that is well below the minimum requirements for most airlines nowadays, I would like to ask wether there is any way of building up more hours upon completion of training just to improve your chances on finally getting on an airline. If not what do these poor lads that they ve already "invested" their 65k usually do??:ugh:

They normally have to go to the banks and ask for another £30,000 to give to Ryanair! Unless youre Mr first time, 100% in everything- then you might get 6 months at Easyjet before being thrown out into the cold again.

Now is not the time to go integrated!!!!!

Those that could afford to went skiing, those that couldn't went back to their old jobs.

I went back to the desk job and fly an hour or two a month to keep me practised. You make the best of any situation by being resourceful and frugal.
