A320rider,
HA HA! What a laugh! You're amusing indeed! Ha ha... It's so funny that I can't hold back the tears...
I apologize for being politically incorrect, but I assume it's your German background that you're showing such an aweful negative attitude. Let me tell you one thing, son, I want to become a pilot and I am going to become a pilot, wherever and whatever it takes! As long as I can make a living with flying I will be happy. And I know I'm going to get a job with this attitude because it's the right attitude.
Of course it's a rough and bumpy way 'til you get to where people pay you money for your flying, but that's how a career in aviation looks like. If it's too much for you, too bad. Go whine somewhere else!
Do you really think you can make other wannabes stop pursuing their dreams by writing those kind of posts? Ha ha! A320rider, either you're totally disillusioned or just some weirdo, who doesn't know what to do with his time...

Do you think that A320 has got the picture that we are not all so negative about flying as he is?? as stated many times, perhaps thats why you arnt employed?

Once again it is important to point out to A320 that if you EXPECT to get into a shiney jet with a couple of hundred hours and a type rating because you paid for it yourself and people/ airlines owe it to you, you are so sadlly missinformed. Sure it does happen but it is an exception to the rule. Most airlines want experience of some degree. The jobs are out there to get the experience if you look hard enough.
What I think you should be saying A320 is that lots of people cant find airline jobs paying 6 figure salaries with low time and no experience. Chances are most of you are going to have to fly something else before you get into a BIG SHINEY JET, and if you think you are not, then you are on the path to dissappointment. Learning to fly is a big financial commitment, but to think you will get that money back within a year of spending it is unrealistic.
My advice is to look harder, look further, and dont quit or get negative, you become your own worst enemy.
GOOD LUCK

Talking

LOL and you wonder why you dont get a job???? If i was an employer of any sorts I wouldnt be employing anyone with an attitude like that, and if you have any mates the reason they dont have a job is probably because they hang around with you too much! The reason most PPruners will get jobs is becuase we know we will and we are not bothered by stupid posts like this. Do you think that after everything we have worked for and everything we have done that we will be demoralised by a post like this? Actually the fact is its great to see guys with your attitude looking for jobs because you are one of those 10,000 and we know you wont get a job which leaves more opportunities for us. Thanks.

For those of you who haven't been on pprune for a long time - A320rider used to be called Hulk (amongst many others) and has been trolling these boards for years. My favourite was when he gave a big spiel about what a great airline pilot he was, then the next day asked a Met question in wannabees.

For some reason, your responses are what feeds him. I suspect a long lack of female 'company' may be a contributing factor.

BTW, Send Clowns, he also claimed to be a Bristol GS student 3 years ago!

And I must confess I didn't work that hard to get my job. I trundled along building hours as an instructor, got myself some multi-engine IFR time (required for single-pilot work) and fell into a job. OK so it took some effort, but not a huge amount. What got me the job was being around aviation so picking up the contacts (it turned out 3 of my contacts have been useful to the company since I was offered the job), getting on well with those people, and my attitude, willingness to fly the aircraft someone needs flown, when it needs to be flown!

From this I could have had work in any one of 3 different companies.

Strafer

So he is thinking of starting it all again then! Or not - lucky for us he seems to have got depressed about the idea, eh?

Hi

There will never be full employment in any industry. I work in IT and over the past few years most of my friends have been out of work at one time or another. I also know people that rarely work, they know their stuff but they're just not employable. That's life.
If you didn't know it would be difficult to get a job and that there's a chance you'll never get a job you're too naive to be flying.
