Boing, as PicMas says the actions of those undercutting others is an emotive subject with some people, particularly those who paid their own way. Sorry to disappoint but I'm self funded and therefore immune to the slings and arrows of having had a cushy airline cadetship or military training.

I'm sorry you have to work at something else to tide you over until your first flying job. It was a bitch when I had to do it too. Loans, they're a bugger eh? Thing was I knew what I was getting into so got myself out of it, eventually. Sure, I could have flown for free but I wanted to look my colleagues-to-be in the eye afterward. So I didn't.

I'm not speaking for my employers, they'll do what they want but then it has been known for me to 'know of jobs going' in the past so who can say where I'll pop up? Man of mystery I am

the genious piss-in-the-pants-to-stay-warm approach of buying a rating
Bloody funny

Point taken folks. Didn't make too many friends with this posting, and managed to stir up a bit of commotion along the way.

Most of you highlighted this early doors - but I thought it was worth keeping it open a little longer.

Even though the damage is done.....

I could always backtrack my initial post. Change the word "free" to "current market rate"



Flintstone - given that we've made such a lasting friendship, I'm sure you'll let me know when one of them jobs pops up....

At least you have a sense of humor,
And as so many people before you,just hang in there,get your time somewhere and it will probably work out in the not so distant future.
And yes,I did it the hard way as well

Boing.

Funnily enough I would. If it were a paying job that avoided you having to sell your soul As I said, we've all been there.

Not much use to you right now but when you hit 1000 hours give me a shout.
