Re: Aviation
 

I'm in Paris with some money left to buy a one way ticket to wherever I get a job!

Re: Aviation
 

I'm talking to you hun, very quiet around here isn't it?? :(

Re: Aviation
 

No it's not

Re: Aviation
 

OK so have you an ATPL or just CPL? How many total hours etc etc. If only low hours no point in coming out here to try your luck - people with over 5/- hours have trouble getting an F/o job.

Re: Aviation
 

Ever thought of getting a flight instructor job at a flying school or sim and building up the hours that way?

Re: Aviation
 

Yeah I did think about it. But being an instructor is not for me. I don't wanna build time on people's back if I'm unable to be a good teacher and make them succeed in their flight training. Teaching requires skills and I don't have them. Some wouldn't care but I do and I'm wayyyy too serious about my job that either I do it good or look for something else.

There are opportunities to fly cargo and small airplanes for commuters and those don't need a lot of experience. I mean if I had a thousand hours, do you think I'd apply for a small commuter or Cathay Pacific ? Let alone if I had 4000 hrs .... Emirates, Qatar, Ettihad, Saudi ....

Re: Aviation
 

Mate,

This from you is just plain ridiculous, especially this:

:scared:

If you don't have skills to be a flight instructor, then i seriously hope you don't get a job flying the big jets!!!! What are you doing in aviation then, if you don't have these skills?????????

It should all be about career progression, to be a better pilot you have to try and experience all sorts of flying, everything helps you in gaining proficiency in terms of flying and technical knowledge which you will one day apply in whatever flying situation your in, everything you can gain in terms of flying experience is essential in order to make you (us) more safe and efficient pilots. ;)

Regards

Re: Aviation
 

I was talking about teaching skills ... Do u have to be a good teacher in order to be a good Pilot ???? I really do not think so and far more experienced Pilots than think and told me the same. As a matter of fact, many experienced I have met and who were flying "the big jets" admitted teaching was not for them.

There's no way in hell I'll take some Pilot wannabee as a student just to build flight time on his back without caring his or her success. Unless you're among those CFI's ... Which would make you a really incompetent one.

It requires more than knowledge to be a good teacher. Haven't you ever had University teachers (If you did go to Post Graduate School) who were not born teachers ? And although you wouldn't question thier knowledge you would surely question tehir ability to transmoit that knowledge ? Have u practiced any sport ? ... Haven't you had a coach who was among the best in his discipline but who was a failure as a coach ?

I wasn't waiting for you to come tell me what I'm doing in aviation you smart mouth. And you seriously hope I don't fly the big jets? Thanks.

Being a good pilot does not require being a good instructor, if that's the case then why aren't all pilots instructors ???... Mr whatever your name is.

I seriously hope that you'll grow up some day and think about what I just said.

By the way, I was waiting for a joke before going to sleep. Thanx a lot Mr huuhh.. Whatever. :p

Re: Aviation
 

Not going to waste any more of my precious time with people like you who can't understand or take on board other people's advice...

Go and brush up your CRM skills, you got alot to learn, you will definately go far with your kind of attitude... :D

;) :beer:

By the way my name is Pedro.

Re: Aviation
 

Oh Air P. here is a present from the office up there, just for you :D ;)

Re: Aviation
 

That was so childish of you my friend. What did you expect from me ? To be jealous ? Actually I'm not and I'm sincerely happy you managed to get a job as a Pilot and congratulations on my behalf. Hope you'll make it to the big jets.

Do u at least agree with what I replyed to you ?

Re: Aviation
 

Mate, i was just trying to make a point, i dont like seeing people fail with their dreams, but sometimes it is not possible to climb 5 steps at once! You have to do it one by one, and when i said i hope you dont get a job flying the big ones it wasn't true i wish you to suceed, because flying is the best there is i admit but just bear in mind that sometimes there's diversions to get to the top, ok you dont like instructing or you think you don't have the skills to do so that is why people get trained to do it so they gain the required skills, and i believe being an instructor you (we, all pilots) tend to learn alot, it will help you to be current and build the most important: hours!

So good luck whatever you decide.

Re: Aviation
 

Oh so now you wanna be nice and make sense ? Ok.. what's your name again? Whatever...
Thanks for the advice. Just keep in mind that I was not trying to climb 5 steps at once for I never aimed at flying for the majors from the beginning. I'm just keeping it real with the CFI thing.

Best wishes to you too.
