Might I ask why..
Not at all, what I'm saying is that unless you have God like flying hours you shouldn't have a jet. If you were a Twin-turbine I'd say cool, I understand that but a jet?
..you feel this?
I was more than happy to fly what I could get, and be paid to fly. I applied to CityJet, for example (a smaller operator) and was told I wasn't required, yet they call guys up with less hours than me begging them to come to interview, as they were integrated!? Doesn't make any sense. Ryanair (love them or hate them) looked at me as a candidate with a licence, who proved my skill in the relevant flight test. It didn't matter what the school's name was worth, or how much I paid. If they flew turboprops, or something else, i'd have still applied, because I tried to sow my seed far and wide to secure a job.
The jobs market in the USA and Europe I don't feel can be compared anymore. The UK has little to offer in the way of air taxi operations or anything that would allow someone a reasonable stepping stone up to the big time - the USA on the other hand has a developed 'path' to the legacy carriers. People in the UK regularly go into jet jobs with 200 hours, and perform adequately on type ratings, with FR or otherwise. The simple reality is if they didn't, they wouldn't pass, and the airlines would stop taking them on - this isn't happening.
Incidentally, Ryanair don't actually have their own flight school, are you telling us that all pilots from CAE or SAS have easy passes in TR exams? You won't make friends that way, they are major training establishments!
