Modular with those hours! I Just finished OAA Modular and landed a job within 6 weeks, as did several of my integrated coursemates. Difference being I could probably get myself an Aston before our debt levels are comparable!

P.S just realised the Aston plan's gone out the window, TR to pay for!

It seems there are more jobs for low timers then experienced pilots.
good luck to all!!!
Who with?
Who has hired you and several of your Oxford chums? Was it Ryanair and a 28,000 Euro type rating? Did you get that job or did you buy it?

I have a question. how was the 90s recession compared to this one we are facing today(airline point of view)? I was only 8-9 years old during that time, so it is hard to remember, but my father was telling me it was hard times as well, but he says this one is much deeper!!! But I do remember 2002 when many airlines laid off pilots like crazy and that was the time I started my flight training.

Hmm, an Int course plus £30k worth of type rating is a hefty price tag for a first job.
This recession is already much deeper and quicker than the early 90's one.
Then Dan Air and Air Europe went bust and they were big back then. Thomson and easyJet would be the modern day equivalents.
The 1990's house price crash saw the worst 12 months period suffering a 12% fall in average house prices. We are are 18% currently and accelerating. As a proxy for the size of the recession the implications are obvious. Also 18 years ago Japan was going great guns and America was booming post Reaganomics. China was still shut and Europe was expanding Eastwards following the fall of the wall.
This time everything is cocked up at the same time everywhere. It will be worse. Much much worse.

Agreed, but they do care how you perform when they drop you in a big jet sim, and 55hrs in a Seneca doesn't prepare you to much for that!
My view, slightly tongue & cheek: If you can afford an integrated course followed by a type rating, you should have kept doing what you were doing before.
