Persistence pays off more than anything. Being in the right place, at the right time, and knowing people, is the way this industry works. If you have been trying like hell, and making contacts, then maybe you'll be the one they call when old Ralph drops dead and doesn't show for work.
Don't go get your A and P just for this, you don't need it anymore. Those old guys think you do but they are full of it! Pilots don't fly all day and turn wrenches all night anymore the duty day won't allow it. Just keep sending in your resume and keep talking to whoever is "chief pilot" today. Pack a bag and say goodbye to girlfriend and your wife, and before you know it you'll be a dumb******************** tanker pilot just like us. Best of Luck you poor dumb bastard!
