who want's A300/310 fo's???
i would be greatful to know who in the uk wants fo's on the A300 or A310? i know its hard to find them but i'm sure there's still some need.
im approaching 2000hrs nearly all jet but am struggling to find a job in the uk.

How about looking outside of the UK, in a place where older machines like the A300/310 are more likely to be operated? Also, have you called Eagle Aviation in France? They used to operate an A300, and have now switched to A310 (and no, all of their pilots did not speak French). What about Islandflug?

That's all very good but not quite what i'm looking for. has to be in the uk at least.
i know this type is not great but even with the experience i'm finding it a struggle. can't even get an interview. just letter's like...you're not needed but good luck.

You realistically are not going to get too much in the UK if you are insistent on flying that particular type. Monarch and Channel Express come to mind as the only genuinely UK-based companies who operate them. However, companies such as Ryanair, easyJet and Jet2 (Channel Express in disguise!) would be very interested in someone of your experience to fly their 737-800s or A319s respectively. Have you tried there? Also, with your experience you would be qualified to enter British Airways as a direct entry pilot. Obviously there is a big selection procedure to go through but you are in principal qualified to apply. Best of luck.

Or follow Norman Stanley Fletcher's advice and move on to some newer type, with the low costs for example...-- TTF.
