C'mon guys, let's apply a modicum of sense into this crazy little cyberworld we inhabit!!!
65k [OATS Vs ESPT etc] for the PROSPECT of an interview…do me a friggin' favour!!!
I plan to get my 35k modular APTL, instruct, or whatever to gain the prerequisite experience to get a decent job flying for Jo Acme Airlines (Holdings) Limited or whoever.
Don't get me wrong, I am ambitious. I fully plan to join Scroggs et al in the next five or ten years flying Mister & Misses Chulmay-Smithe via Condom Airlines to Barbados or wherever, but I realise that I can't walk before I can run.
The airlines are in the business of making money, and they'll only pick lo-hours pilots only if they have to operate revenue generating sectors safely as cheaply soon as possible, ie 55/65k will not influence when a vancancy APPEARS - whether you have all your hard earned dosh to assigned to B C McGuire's shady outfit or some Red Hot Dutch outfit is really quite irrelevant if you can put yourself past the 200 vs 1000 hrs debate.
Bide your time. You CAN do it. What does one month or 12 months really matter???
Don't think I am rubbing up to the moderators or something. Massive respect to them for spending a lot of their freetime working for PPRuNe, but truly, they do CHOOSE to do this. Doesn't mean you should kiss ass, and equally doesn't give you an excuse to ask dub-ass sycophant questions either, but give 'em the respect they deserve.
All I'm saying is just a little common sense. If you're really dedicated like me, you'll be thinking "What was I on…" when you're flying your A380/S**ic flyer sectors in 2015…forget getting flying a B757 in 12 months, just enjoy the thrashing noise that a Cessna 172 makes during your take off roll….
THE TRUE BEAUTY OF FLIGHT IS THAT IS GOVERNED BY THE LAWS OF PHYSICS AS WE KNOW IT, EQUALLY, THE AIRLINE BUSINESS GOVERNED BY THE LAWS OF ECONOMICS TOO!!!!!
[I'm pretty pished as I write this, so I might well edit it in the full glare of the morning sun tomorrow…]

PS as well as 45 mph reverse parking in my Fiat [trust me, I can scare you SAFELY]I also do the silkest landings known to man.
