Thanks :rolleyes:

I think people who complain here to much are baned? why?

do you think a pilot can make a living today in aviation?

I visit some other websites, and everywhere it' s very negative.

I got no sniff of a job in 2.5 years, and I don't think an airline will call me.
I don't even know where to apply anymore, so many CV sent , and nothing.

are we all doomed? how it is in other professions?

hope I won't be baned!

well I can only tell you this: this year I graduated as a bachelor in engineering. I didn't even look or ask for jobs, though I got plenty of opportunities to get one. Around 5 to 10 companies contacted me and asked me if I was interested in a job position. I didn't even look for one because I'm getting my masters degree!

And to be honest, some of those companies were even airlines (did a bachelor in aeronautical engineering), but most of them were out of the aviation industry.
Not every aviation related degree is bitterness and sadness:cool:
My investment here in Belgium: 650€ a year, around 300 for books and ect. I live with my parents so living costs are on them. And even when I wanted I think I could do it on my own. As a student we have a special tax system when we work.

Great stuff Poeli
 

Ahh Poeli......bully for you old boy!

Just don't come crying to these hallowed forums of aviation awesomeness about what a bunch of bastards pilots are when your bored girlfriend comes back from a 'girlie night out' stinking of aviation fuel and hero. That's right.....if you look closely you will even spot a dab of wax from my immaculate moustache on her rumpled blouse.

However, you may need to cover the bar tab run up under her name after my credit card bounces.......;)!

ahaha, in ur dreams!!!! companies don't contact you. please go away.

it s easy to loose money, make money is near impossible, and even if you make some money, it won't cover all your bills.

I enjoyed reading this post, and the elements are so true.

I am so glad I invested in my career, and took all the chances I did, despite being kicked in the bollocks so many times.

Flying is a great way to make a living :ok:.
