I don't know if you really need to know about my high school education since this what I used to study there is not related to the aviation and particulary to the pilot's occupation but this is part of my personal story and I think I should mention it. 2)In March 2001 I started my regular military service as a soldier from the infantry in Bulgaria and I finished it in December the same year 3)Next year,2002,during the summer time I applied for the National Military University-the Faculty of Aviation and I was accepted for a four year degree of study there.In 2006 I graduated from the Military University and I was promoted into the rank of lieutenant.I got a diploma for a higher education with the degree of Bachelor.My major degree course from the Military University is Navigation Officer-Air Traffic Controller and my civil specialty is Automation,Information and Control Equipment but I used only my major degree course from the Unoversity.After I graduated from the University I have been serving for around two years(2006-the end of 2008) as a Military Air Traffic Controller and I used to provide air traffic control services for the air tactical and air interception training for fighter from the Bulgarian Air Force and the air forces of other NATO countries.My country's been a NATO member for more then five years and our Air Force participate in a lot of cooperation trainings with other countries members of NATO.In 2008 a great political changes took place in my country ans as a result the Bulgarian Government and more exactly the Bulgarian Ministry of Defense decided to reduce the Air Force military staff since the tendency for Bulgaria as a NATO member was to have a less number of military personnel.So,I was one of the many young lieutenants that had to live the army. 4)In November 2009 I got my First Class Medical Certificate which conforms with the JAR-FCL requirements since Bulgaria is a member of the European Union.After I successfully got my first medical I enrolled JAA ATPL ground school in a Private College of Transportation and after six months of study there I finished and got a certificate for successfull completion of the ATPL ground school. 5)In September 2010 I chose United Flight Systems in Spring, Texas as my future flight school in the USA and I started the application process for my M-1 visa status through the US Embassy in my country.I was approved for one-year M-1 visa which was issued to me in the first days of November and I arrived in the USA,Houston at 16th of November last year. 6)I got my FAA First Class Medical Certificate at the end of November last year and I started flying.So far I got my Private,Instrument and Commercial Single Engine Ratings.In July I got my Spin Endorsement and last month I started my Commercial Multi Instrument training.I would finish so far my training but the twin-engine airplanes in my school experienced a long-term maintenance that's why I am a bit late with finishing my training.I did all my training under Part61 and I am very close to pass my Commercial Multi Instrument Checkride,probably in a week or two.At the end I will get around 270 flight hours. This is my experience so far.I would appreciate if you guys over here suggest me of what could be the best I can do for my future pilot career.I am willing to work anywhere and I accept advice and comments from everyone. Please,do not hesitate to contatct me,I prefer through my e-mail. Regards Vassil Hello,

I will write another detailed post on options for "low time" pilots like yourself shortly. Checkout climbto350.com and such sites. You will see that there is a lot of demand for FAA CFIs in the middle-east, China and South-East Asia. Don't forget that one of the reasons why we chose to be pilots is the love for traveling the world. Look beyond the comforts of your home (country) and you will find what you've been looking for. And because there are very few who actually do this, this is why there are a few who succeed.. ... even in hard times. I will forward your comment to the pilot friend who works for Club One (privacy) and let him decide whether he wants to connect publicly or not. But one thing is for sure, even he looked beyond his comfortable home country to land himself the job. Keep up the good work on your blog....and build connections.

In less than a month, one dealer called him and asked him if he could ferry a brand new SR-20 from California to India!! As he had never flown an SR-20 before, they even paid for his checkout/TAA training, and he flew their Cirrus to India! And now he turns down some business as he doesn't have enough time. He ended up working as a chief pilot for the new owner that he was ferrying for. :-) A friend (and former student) of mine, he put the word out to some bigger aircraft dealers that he is available to ferry airplanes for new owners.
