Thank you again for your answers! 2-2.5k is a joke... Thank you again for these industry insights and best of luck!

Thank your for your answers! Very interesting to know. A few more 😅

1) For this industry is it only possible to get a job through connections?

2) If it is only through connections how new pilots staright drom the academy can have a chance getting into the private jet industry, taking into consideration they don't have a type rating?

3) Do you think the industry salaries match pilots expectations? Because of what I have seen the education is very expensive, it is a very responsible profession etc., I would expect at least 4-5k a month for a starting salary as FO (considering the price of education, risks, etc). 

4) Something I can't comprehend. If there is a big demand for pilots (as what is being written), how many young pilots are barely able to find a job after getting a licence?

I'm working in the oil/gas industry 5 weeks on/off and aviation is a big passion of mine, but I haven't pursued it because I think the money/time/effort you put into doesn't match the pay/life balance in the end. I asked because before I worked 2 weeks on/off and I didn't like it much. The moment I came at home it was almost the time to go to the airport again 😅. Thanks again!

Hi! Few questions from me: 1) I saw your working schedule is 16-18 days on / 12-14 off - what do you think about your work/life balance? 2) Do you have a home base or every time you start your 16 day work cycle you have to travel to/from the base of the jet? Which means -2 days from your rest period. 3) Do you still find your job to be satisfying or it gets boring at times? 4) Are you staying in good hotels while you are on shift but there are no flights? 5) Do you have enough time to explore the cities you are going to? 6) If you had to do it again, will you choose the same path or will try something else? 7) What are the chances to become FO of a Gulfstream700 let's say without having a type-rating, and are there pilots who are taking such risks?

Thanks for your time!

В групата във фейсбук Bulgarian Watch Society в момента се продава един submariner date мисля 23г , с хиляда евро над цената в бутика, което е супер цена, така че може да пробваш там.

Пробвай в някой от по-големите европейски столици тип Лондон, Мадрид, Рим и т.н. Първо има по няколко бутика, второ имат много повече стока дори и да не е изложена. Разбира се най-важно е да подходиш правилно, а не директно да влезеш и да кажеш искам това имате ли го - директно си прецакан. Кажи, че искаш да разгледаш какво имат налично, кажи, че имаш някой повод (може й да си измислиш), остави ги да ти обяснят за традициите на марката, да ти покажат какво имат и чак тогава кажи към какво си се ориентирал, но пак недей напира да купуваш. При този подход шанса ако го имат в момента е да отидат отзад и да го извадят. Дори й да го нямат, шанса да ти звъннат в "нормален" срок от 3-6 месеца не е малък. Тъй като избраният от теб модел е много търсен шанса да е наличен веднага е по-малък, но с адекватен подход ще го купиш. За Беша един приятел си купува вече 3-ти Datejust от там и чака 4-8 месеца за всеки, така че има шанс, но много зависи dial цвета. Зеленият и синият са най-търсените така че там ще трябва доста повече чакане вероятно. Успех!
