New to Aviation - Have Job Questions
Hi there,
I'm new to this forum and aviation.
I've done a lot of studying/reading and I'm currently in the process of thinking through making the jump from zero to CPL.
My questions are:
1) How difficult can it be to get a job with an airline after CPL training? Do certain airlines require a lot of flying hours or is there a long junior period before attaining a safe job status?
2) Does it make sense to move to being a charter pilot after CPL training or do you need a lot of commercial flying hours through some other avenue to get that kind of job?
3) Is there such a thing as being an "on-call' charter pilot down the road in a career like this?
What I'm looking for is just some general job information after leaving CPL training.
Can anyone point me in the right direction in terms of how a career trajectory in aviation can develop?
Thanks for your help!
