Hi Wes,

Thanks for sharing your thoughts/info/experience with me/us ! Well, the thing is.. ( hmmm, how shall I say this briefly..?!) .. you maybe/probably don't know my country, how things go here... (small country and quite dictatoristic leadership. If someone is not expressedly from their 'circles'... , well... :-/ ).

In order to build time first of all I'd need some income (to pay my bills and keep me afloat, and to be able to keep flying). These days for instance, I'm sending out curriculums as a truck driver or a groundwork machine operator... (and hope to be hired). That's one of the reasons why I'm curious to see whether there might be a place where I could get started (employed) with the experience/skills that I currently have in aviation. (AND also because I believe that in order to become a good pilot, it's very useful and practical to start as a glider pilot. ) In other words I'll find "something" for survival and in the meantime keep building ratings and time just as you suggested, BUT it would be even better (nicer) if I wouldn't need to waste my precious Time with truck driving (or such), so I'm trying to gather information and build connections.("Networking".) But, certainly I do understand that we all need to do something that our society needs - and as long as there's an acceptable balance with making money ("with something") and doing what I enjoy, I'm allright

Best,
Zoltan
