Hello everyone
I am thinking of starting from scratch and aiming towards the airlines a few years down the track, 80hrs gained on Flying Scholarship and UAS in 94-95. I am fascinated by everyone's input with regard to how to make it to the airlines, but there is an area I can't find any info on. After gaining a CPL, what are the current state of job opportunities for low hours people? Even assuming you get a multi rating next, are there many jobs going for, I don't know, parachute dropping or something? What other types of job other than FI? Don't really know the score between passing CPL/IR and ATPL exams, and getting enough hours to try airlines!
Also, would my 80 hrs count towards the 150 needed to start mod CPL course, despite being so long ago???
Any replies much appreciated!! <img src="wink.gif" border="0">
