Finished training early 2002
Two interviews and four years later:
B757 with 270 hours TT.
Now has to be the best time in the last 5 years to get an airline position.
Those who have been around long enough know the good times don't last forever! Get motivated.

femaleWannabe,
I'm surprised people at Gatwick weren't very chatty. Maybe the guys doing their exams were bricking it, but in fairness, the guys doing their medical must all have been really shy!
Hehehe

female wannabe
You are absolutely right. I have met a few wannabes (where i trained) who you would not want to sit next to on a train yet alone fly with. And, yes, they have got jobs with airlines. What does that say about the people recruiting.
Don't be too harsh on piper indian. I am instructing at the moment and trained the modular way. His statistics, from what he says are the general picture.
I hate going for medicals and sitting exams. So, if someone was out-going enough to say hello me, i would definately talk back, or even crack a joke and maybe lap dance at reception. A welcome to the CAA they have not seen the benefits of doing yet.
This i believe would ease the pressure of the exams etc. Actually, not the last one, I have not got the figure i once had.
So next time you are in shout my handle and get ready a £10 note.

Hi Peeps
From what i gather its networking that is the real tool to get you in the door here, female wannabe you are on the right line, meet people doors open, maybe the guys were a bit nervous but come on blokes, you would say hello back at least would'nt you 'nerd alert'.
It looks like the intergrated route is the lots of cash fast track route to the airlines, and if you have it why not. i guess the likes of me & james T Kirk went mod, and used instructing to learn our trade whilst waiting for our time to come. Luck pays a big part and keeping current is a costly thing. But this is the best its been for about 6 yrs so go get em.
Me...... thus far in a holding pool with no start date as yet. please don't let me have to shell out for another IR in the mean time as in sim last year.
James T, i have been reading your posts and you are local to the south coast so whats your news, any more bites.
keep Lucky
