where to now?
Stuck in a holding pattern, not knowing which way to fly.
If anyone can assist with direction from here in this flying career, please help.
My Long term goals is to fly 747-400 passenger / cargo
or 737- 800 or similler
presently having 3500 hours total time ICAO ALTP
of 2000 EFIS
just under 1000 hours pic jet Premier1 / Hawker 800 xp
I am in a position where I can up and go anywhere, preferably outside of Africa.
Ideas I have come up with is to finance a 737-200 through Comair and see if I can go on contract somewhere to pay off the rating,
Go to America and do a 737 rating there and convert to an FAA licence.
I dont want to have to take up more training bonds on aircraft I wont need in the long run.
British and South African passport
Any Ideas please dont hesitate to contact me
thanks guys

Don't try to fly in USA - too many furloughed pilots there. The market is very competitive from what I hear. I would try for UK LCC even though the market is not strong there either. Maybe get to Europe on smaller jets and then transition to airlines later. Have you considered VistaJet and Netjets Europe? Try VistaJet since they are growing from what I hear. Www.vistajet.com.
