What did you do in between 27 and 35? Was it flying related/instruction??
Just interested in how you managed with the gap between qualifying and getting a job. What did you do to keep your head in the field?

Old 'un
42 IMC rating, then Class 1 Medical.
43 CPL/IR (FAA)
43 CPL/IR (CAA)
44 SD3-30
45 F 27
47 A320/A321
49 +A330 (Mixed Fleet)
55 Still there
Lost job twice, due 9/11 and airline bankruptcy.
Not sure I'd recommend it to a young 'un, unless they were 100% committed. (I was)

36 - RHS 146 Flybe
37 - RHS DHC8-200/300 Flybe
38 - RHS 146 again Flybe
42 - LHS 146 Flybe
43 - LHS 737-800 Ryanair
I must also add that the TRs have been harder as I got older and more stupid, but on a brighter note I never paid for any of them.
I also did TRs for the RJ100 and DHC8-400 but never flew them.
