Low time drivers

Is there any hope for the fresh pilot these days. Just spoke to a young guy today who payed for his CPL out of his own pocket, and did it over 3 yrs. He cant get a start with all these guys getting massive student loans and just clocking up hours instructing etc.

and no i'm not talking about myself.

Are you talking about Australia ??? I didn't think going instructing straight up in Australia was really an option ??

I thought the most common 2 options were mustering and tourism work. And in either of these 2 cases I don't think how you paid for your license is an issue.

In both cases I think life experience and the willingness to travel to, stay, and work in remote areas is what seperates the men from the boys.
