I got the desirable green wallet-uk, when there was no requirement for the multicrew.

I worked 6 months to blast off 90 hours night, foc instructing to got the atpl at about 1600 tt to satisfy the night req for 100.

The aim was to try and get on a different pile, other than the fatpl, but it doesn't seem to have made any difference. Havent had a sniffter in ages

Has anyone been called for an interview yet or at least got their foot in the door?

1300 TT, 1050 MD80, 250 PIC
Still looking for the next job after major cut-backs.

300 hrs, 26 multi. fATPL. MCC. Degree in Astrophysics. Speak four languages. currently working on a building site in the rain. Not a sausage back from any airline except a few 'no' letters.
Confused. Life a drag. Moan, Moan. Blah, Blah. Same as everyone I suppose.:(

English guy with Australian CPL/IR and FAA ATP 2500 TT (1100 Multi) and 10 years experience as Aircraft Engineer. Most of flying done in Oz and Caribbean.In UK now working as Aircraft Engineer and studying for JAR ATPL (via Bristol).

F.atpl 1060 TT; 265ME. cant afford a jet type rateing,so firmly in the "dont pay for one"camp, sigh!

CAA F/ATPL current IR, 1000hrs 50multi, currently instructing on an "ad hoc" basis through the winter season.
Seriously considering a type rating..
anyone going to the Gatbash.. see you there!!

JAA Frozen ATPL 285 tt 60 multi and 130 PIC + MCC/CRM

Over 20 months, two interview/assessment days and thats it. Better than nothing but like the 850 odd pilots in the UK looking for work (And many others in Europe) its easier to get a job with the Devil or McDonalds. If its Rocking Horse S**t that you are after I can get hold of it but a flying career........well we all know that story.

To be honest we don't often hear that word mentioned much on Pprune...flying "career"......everybody talks about getting the next job. But perhaps its worth hearing from those who are leaving the ranks for retirement and ask how to stay in when times are bad ?

Keep the nose to the grindstone and lets hope everyone has a much better 2004. 2003 has certainly been an annus horriblis.

CAA Frozen ATPL, MCC, 1400TT, 120Multi, 400 Turbine, 2yrs charter schedule experience.

Just resigned from a job flying Grand Caravan in Zambia, to come home and look for a job on mud island. Good idea or not.....I'll tell you in 4 months!

Good luck everyone.
