So you are more than likely going to have to go the the regionals or a 135 or something to get that turbine time. It just has to happen that way! Along the way, you may find a job that is perfect for you . .maybe corporate maybe something different. I'm just saying, dont make your decision NOW on flying for one company. Get those ratings, see if you even like flying. Like folks have said, a hobby and a job are two different things!!!
Take your time, the economy is only waiting on you right right now . . . if you love flying, the job will not matter as much later on. Dont go into this because of status or a "dream Job" cause it will let you down.
Good luck, |
Of course i love flying. It is in my blood. You are right, i should not have such high exception at this time. But i just want to have some idea about weather i have a chance to get into such companies . I don't want to invest too much time, if i can't get to the top. I can just take it easy and work upwards step by step to work for only regional airlines. But if i have slight opportunity then i am willing to work hard to get there. On the emirates website, to get hired as a FO it requires minimum of 4000 hours. And someone told me that if i start training at the age of 33, i can still make it there in ten years. In 2 years ill complete my all ratings. Then buildup my hours up to 1500 in another 2 years and get hired by regional, if lucky. In another 3 years i will make it to 4000 hours. Please let me know if this plan will not work.
Thank you very much for all the replies. Every each of them are worth it.
