1800 hours total, 1100 F50, 500 B737 (3-900), 200 MEP/SEP.

First Job, 1 year after finishing intergrated course with uk company with Dutch connection, now 737 with Dutch major, now 27. I've been very lucky, all I could advise is don't give up, when you get there it's well worth it.

Keep going

For all those struggling in their first job or awaiting their first opportunity, remember churchill's saying:

"If you're going through hell, keep going"

What Avrodamo doesn't tell you is that he sold his body on the streets of Corby to fund his TR. He even borrowed a copper's uniform for the more bizarre requests!
