Please guys, get this type rating + line training self funded training out of your heads! This might be the most stupid idea by airlines so far.. They are just taking advantage of young and desperate pilots. For the sake of a brighter future, don't buy yourself into success, it comes with a price...
I have a friend who bought 500 hours of line training on Germania (A320), he spent 6 months as a first officer, and he only flew 100 hours... Is that worth it? I don't think so. He didn't get a pay check, he had to pay for his accommodation, his food, his uniform. Those 39k€ or whatever they say you'll pay, it'll end up with at least 50k... I say, wait for a better opportunity, get a normal job until the chance for a job as a real first officer appears. Just a tip
