Getting a job as airline pilot is the hardest thing to do after completing your training. For each airline, there are at least 20 (or more) other pilots that are qualified to get the job. The majority of flight schools offer training only up to 200 hours. After that, you're on your own to build hours, hours that you'll need to present as proof of experience, to an airline that you want a job with. Major airlines like Emirates, Etihad, Delta, and American only hire pilots that have up to 2000 or more flying hours. If you want to be able to land a job with them, you have two options:
Get a job with a regional or minor airline: Airlines like Aeromexico, GoAir, CityJet, JetBlue, etc. , hire pilots with less than 1000 hours, some will even hire you if you've got at least 180 hours (which is less than what you've already achieved with a flight school!). Keep in the mind that you're joining them to build hours. Once you fly for them for a year or two, and get those 2000/3000 hours, you can easily land jobs with bigger airlines. The pay is low for regional airline pilots, so don't expect it to be all glamorous. Work other jobs to build hours: You could work on your IFR rating and begin to work as a CFI, using money that you get from that job to rent aircraft to log hours. You could also fly Banner Planes, or Tourism planes (Seaplanes or something similar) to build hours. Once again, the pay isn't that great but as long as you're getting those hours, you should be fine. It'll take you up to two years or more, depending upon the intensity and frequency of your flying sessions, but it'll be worth it. As I said, it's not really easy when you're fresh out of a flight school, but when you've got the experience, you can easily land jobs with major airlines.
