I would say the standard "McDonalds or Burger King" but that is a little hackneyed.

There are many on these pages that will shout "LOOK AT XXXXX HE HAS 126 HRS AND BE HAS BEEN TAKEN ON BY SLOWJET AIRLINES".

The more honest picture is not so good, you need 1000+ hrs to get a good look in at interview. I have about 800 hrs and I still get the PFO letters.

That said there are some lucky blighters out there.

Indeed, I was lucky. 230 hrs total with 50 hrs multi on a Seneca. Got hired by CROSSAIR in Switzerland. Know of a couple of fellows who were hired with low hours. One got his job with 150 hours total !!!

Good luck !

where did you train?
DID THEY HELP YOU OR RECCOMEND YOU TO THE AIRLINE?
