how many have found a job?
when reading posts on pprune , I can see that not so many wanabees have found a job.
on 200 posts I have read, there is no post saying" I have found a job" or something like that...
it is always" where are the jobs?", "where buy a type/rating?", "then what?","am I too old?"
I see you with the "I know a guy who did this and that and he got a job after doing this and that and now flies a B987 or a A375" bla bla bla...
By chance I know lot of guys too , who have given up simply because they 've runed out of cash! and I am not going to lie to you:we are screwed!
my conclusion is: no cash=no job...

I knew something was missing from PPRUNE over the last few weeks. Welcome back A320 Rider. Your usless inputs, constant drivel and inane babel may annoy people in most places, but here you're tollerated as , I for one, see you as a source of amusement.

Sorry but I happen to quite agree with A320rider.
I think this forum tends to paint a negative picture of how hard it actually is to get a job?????
I'm new to this and am just thinking about launching myself into an aviation career at the age of 30 but some of the stuff i hear on here makes me consider otherwise.
i have a couple of meets lined up with friends of friends who are both pilots with airlines. I'm hoping they will paint me the real picture.
As A320 said I have hardly heard of anyone saying they have landed a job.
It just seems that everyone is very frustrated!
It also seems that when people start talking about OAT, Cabair etc a select few seem to get very negative - could that be because they are envious of those that are lucky enough to go to these schools? - if so then they should just come out and say it!

Balhambob,
I just gotta reply,
I travelled the length and breadth of the country including a two day visit to Jerez before deciding on where to train and in the end, it was the school just down the road. I do not feel I am 'not lucky' because I didn’t go to Oxford or Jerez!!
Come on! I can tell you I started my crappy little office job today (that’s frustrating) while I apply to a select few airlines in the vain hope that with persistence, talking to established people and friends I will get a break. I have friends on the CTC scheme, friends straight out of school into Eastern and even Thomsonfly, they didn’t train at Oxford, or Cabair, or Jerez. Plan B is the traditional route becoming an FI and that’s something I would like to do anyway.
I don’t get wound up that I didn’t go to these schools but I do get wound up about people talking in a way that implies if you didn’t go there, your some kind of second class pilot. I cant be the only one tired of this?
See what ya did?
All jesting aside, if you are new to this don’t get sucked into to thinking there are only three schools to train at. There are many, very good, smaller schools turning out just as good pilots and costing less. Don’t write them off.
All the best if you do decide to go for it.

good for you olof, all I see you are one more pilot to open his wallet and crash more money .I guess this is all you got: ryanair!
this market became totally crazy with crooks all over the world who laugh at us.
Last time I have heared in a office, 2 executive managers saying that they wont need to pay us, because some monkeys are too stupid to pay them to work...
all both left their office , still laughing loudly,and guess what they were driving? mercedes!
the next day I step up in the office manager, and I share my thought about work to pay' scheme, and social system,I told him it was not right...he told me as long people pay them to work, why to change...
Morality: you make this market, bad or good, if you have to blame somebody, blame yourself but not me, because I have warned you...
about Oxford school? I would like to know how many student from Oxford have still no job(90%), and no money left to buy a type rating.I would suggest to check for a flying job before to start a training.

A320 you talk out of your arse, I have just got a job at 44 and I'm not going to start explaining how either, if you don't like how the system works buddy go find another job.
Edited to add, I hate trolls and would not usually bite BUT this fellas a knob.

You don't see lots of posts about people getting jobs because most use this forum to gain info on basic training and who is recruiting, what to expect in the interview/sim check and then disappear once they have a job never to be heard of again.
I only come back here to see how A320 is getting on

Finished modular training end of Jan this year. Start type-rating on Monday on a jet
I have not spent any money on finding a job since paying for my MCC, save for travelling expenses to the interview and subsequent sim assessment

A320 and other sceptics, these forums are for people training for and trying to obtain employment. The minute they get employment, they're off and the vast majority never return - if they stay with Pprune, they go and play in the vast number of forums which most of you guys don't dare to visit.
Anecdotal evidence suggests that around 90% or more of all fATPL graduates are getting aviation employment at the moment. Those are pretty good odds.

completed frozen ATPL mid May first application I filled in was thomsonfly thought it would be a waste of time! But no, 3 weeks later i got a reply. I have been called to stage one selection. Shame I am going to fail the number and verbal reasoning But will be good experiance for the future so I know what to expect! Have not applied anywhere else yet, I have got some company creating my CV to try and make it look good, Wish they would hurry up so I can start geting it out there and see how hard it really is to get selected for interview

A340rider.
Broken record.... Lame......Wannabee A320rider.........
Whats the difference between A340rider and an Essex girl?
A340 knocks over the pot noodles when he comes [to england].
P.S. People who know karate and are "dangerous" dont get the sh$t kicked out of them.

I finished fATPL early April, and I've been accepted onto the CTC ATP scheme. At the moment recruitment seems to be hot.
Problem is, is that people like Mr A320rider believe that obtaining an fATPL automatically guarantees them a job....But it's the same as any other profession, if you you're a tit you won't be employed!
Reading your previous post Mr A320, although they're funny, displays an attitude not suitable for employment by an airline (in my humble opinion).
It's sad to say but some people will never get a job. Could you sit for 8 hours in cockpit with the likes of A320/A340rider?
I couldn't...
