Arnie, where were you today for your check ride? You want some advice.....how about pulling your head out of your ar$e and taking 3 deep breaths. If by any chance you've already done this, do your instructor a favor a give her a hand getting hers out...make sure you've got some sunglasses close by as I don't think she's seen much sunlight lately and the glare might be to much.:cool:

God, what a post

How do you expect to get ahead in this industry without doing the hard yards. So you dont want to travel out bush - i guess you also wont wash aircraft for any employer.... "Nah - I'm a MECIR Pilot - They didnt teach me how to wash aircraft"

I am speaking from my experience, and i would be guessing, alot of other people aswell, but with your hours, you will have ****** all chance of obtaining ANY work in a capital city, in a single let alone a twin, and i would be very warey of the operators that post a twin driver with less than 300hrs ....

Mate - you have been led up the wrong tree as to how glossy this industry is. I must say - you could get the clean break, however they are very hard to come by, but you will learn that you will need to get out of your comfort zone and get some real experience - and all I can say - HEAD WEST !!! (if you are in Brisbane)

Dont hold your breath .....

maybe i am mistaken about cadetships, but don't they usually result in a job?

methinks his instructer was politly saying you can't buy a job, maybe some fool will give you one

Arnie, you can have my job. Would a C402 do it for you?

Some bloke in Sydney is hassling me to fly his companys B767. The nerve of the man, I'm not moving to Sydney for anything but a B777 job.:mad:

Anyone seen Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back?

Main theme of the movie is them tracking down d!ckheads talking sh!t on the internet and beating the **** out of them.

Lock your doors, Arnie!!! :D :mad:

Arnie, I'd reckon right about now your dad's wishing he spent that 35 grand in a brothel.

DO NOT FEAR ARNIE
 
DEAR ARNIE,

ARNIE DON'T WORRY ABOUT WHAT ANYONE SAYS TO YOU ON THIS FORUM WITH A SENSE OF HUMUR LIKE THAT, YOU WILL GO FAR..


LOVE IT
:) :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :eek: :eek:

This is the power of "positive thinking" at work! It's a novel approach, to be sure! :D Thanks for the best laugh I've had in weeks!

Staggerwing 28th Oct 2002 09:58

At least Arnie admits to having 240 hours experience. I know of some cadets from a now defunct great airline who were told that the training they had received gave them the equivalent experience of a 2000 hour bush pilot.

Arnie

I find it very odd that you take an interest in the movements of KakAir on another thread, yet you claim:


I am not interested in going bush, and if that upsets you I am extremely sorry; but it's how I feel.
Why would someone of your 'calibre' worry about what the smallfish are doing out in the sticks.

O by the way it's better you don't go bush - I doubt you'd hack it with that attitude. You're better off learning to bend over and grab your ankles for that twin job that is surely round the corner for you with that vast experience that employers are sure to take a second look at.

all the world's an airport and everybody on it merely cynics.:rolleyes: :rolleyes:

OzExpat 30th Oct 2002 08:09

Cynic? Me?
Hell Yes!!!
But on threads like this, I'm a realist - as are most of the others who have responded so far. Methinks that somebody ain't gettin' the message tho...

Vref+5 30th Oct 2002 22:49

I don't know, with that type of experience, he'll be a shoe in with the Q, if mummy or daddy are in the company

FL CH 31st Oct 2002 08:38

Arnie,

I believe that both Qantas and Virgin will be fighting to offer you a position. From what I've heard both their recruiting officer's have neen disciplined for not offering you a postion sooner.

Welcome to the real world.
