Unhappy Turboprop Experience still no job

Hi All
Anyone out there could help please!


I have a JAR Licence ATPL(f) Perf'A'. Turboprop experience with Shorts 330/360, 900hrs on type. Total 1250hrs.

I have done everything possible to get a job. NO LUCK!

Could anyone tell me why nobody wants me or where am I going wrong. What should I do to make myself more marketable as I dont have enough fund left to keep my self in regular flying.

I would appreiciate for the help!

I doubt it's your experience that's the problem. Try this?

She's an interview / applications coach who used to be in pilot recruitment.

Good luck

I hear you...

Syed,

I've over 2,000 hours t/prop (SA227 & S340) and no luck so far...
I reckon with an ATR TR maybe it would be a different story.

did you see this one already?

Syed,
Don't know why you are unemployed with 900 hours on Sheds. BAC Express have advertised and I am pretty sure Emerald would look at you too.

Thumbs up some people do care

Hi Guys

Thanks for your reply, I appreciate for your response to my request.

I have been intouch with these two shed operators, so far no luck. I just wonder how many guys waiting to join after doing their TRTO course with BAC & EMERALD.

I have been thinking that if I don't get anywhere then try to raise some fund to do TRTO course for ATR, already been intouch with Skyblue Aviation.

Does anyone know how many Shed type rated unemployed out there looking for work.

Keep the information coming

I believe the Emerald hold pool has about 10 people in it. I don't know if they are going to employ all of them or not. With the resignation rate the way it is, I can't see them being left on the shelf for too long. The biggest hassle is getting captains at the moment.
I believe BAC Express are in a similar boat.

Frightening

I Think its sad that such experienced pilots cannot find work
- type rating and hrs notwithstanding!!

Why pay for a type rating ?
