Hi lady’s and gents,

Applying to airlines all over the world for months with no success so I decided to do an instructor rating to build up hours and then get a proper job with an airline. Can anyone give me and everyone else suggestions.

You guys should try Ryanair, Susi air, Cathay SO programs, if you have some ME time (100h) you could apply for a Transavia vacant, etc... Do your research conctact some pilot brokers, and just wait a while. If it doesn´t work then try instructing, ferrying or any other aviation related job.
Good luck

I'm asking for ideas/options on how to break into the industry. Do you have any?

Buy a seneca and start your own airline?

I'm sure you could find a popular business/golf route :}

Setting up my own airline would be very optimistic thinking. How to build hours. Get the magic 1500 hours.

Well, if your opinion of being an instructor is that it's not a "proper job" I wouldn't bother. The industry is full of people with that opinion, and it's killing itself, as the bad instructors provide a bad service and then wonder why they can't find students to pay £180 an hour for them to build hours.

Hi lady’s and gents


I constructively suggest you learn how to use apostrophes.
