Self-sponsored Airline Pilot
Hi all,
It's not easy to become a Airline's pilot, especially for a self-sponsored CPL/IR pilot with 200 to 250 hours, a convergent duct are often used to descripe CPL/IR holder wanting to become an Airline pilot. So, Im wondering if we have any self-sponsored CPL/IR pilot who sucessfully make it to the Airline's flight deck ? If yes please share your story with us and please include your age and region.

The diploma will help but you've got to have a really good plan with plenty of backups. You could easily find a job in aviation with the diploma whilst doing your CPL/IR. I'm not sure what the market is like for low hour pilots in Australia.
