Trying to Build Multi Time
Hi i recently finished flight school in May of this year. Like everyone else i am trawling the net looking for positions and applying like mad. The question is does anybody no of a small company that has Multi or Single Engine aircraft that operate in the uk or europe ,and you would be able to build time even if it takes not getting paid. I heard of companies in Isle of man using Piper Chieftans doing short haul cargo runs on behalf of Fedex. Any ideas.
Thanks for any replies.

The company that I believe the OP is referring to requires a minimum of 700 hours total time plus 40 P1 multi and 100 IFR. So it's not really the place for a 200 hour newbie to be looking to hour build.
The recommendation to build time on SEP and explore other avenues is a good one.
Edited to add: And offering to fly for free is a very bad idea. For the industry, for you, and for your future. Don't do it.

The thing which I find interesting about this whole pay2fly or fly4free is that the same people who did it, are the same who are complaining about the poor work/pay conditions a few years down the road when they have a family to care for and/or other financial obligations or simply wish to improve their standard of living.
Go and get your flight instructor certificate (if you're in need of flight time) but as a qualified commercial pilot NEVER fly for free!!! Unless it's a charitable organization!
