Smile Which Type Rating
Hi, CPL/IR/ME FAA interested in doing some air taxi or ferry work. Just trying to work out he best way forward in the European market. 600Hrs 44 years old. Happy to go out and obtain a type rating if it will open up any realistic opportunities. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Without a job offer on the back of it, don't do it. (unless of course you can afford for it to go horribly wrong)

FAA? European market? Commercial work? Definitely wait until you have a job offer.

Cheers

There is no European job market at present, so save your money.

Convert to a JAA Licence and then join FR like everyone else.

You will have to pay for the type rating but you will get to fly a 737_800.

Enjoy.

Its a common ailment that makes it very painful to sit down and can normally be treated with a cream from the pharmacist.
