An opportunity to fly a jet or a heavy ish TP in a commercial airline for anyone who has only a CPLME IR and no experience is a opportunity of a lifetime so I would take it - even if you had to pay for a TR. It’s beggars belief that people want jobs and the rest handed to them on a plate.
Think of the vast number of guys who have sacrificed much to get a chance and made something of it.
Flying TProps or old BA 146s offers skills that airlines warrant - its commercial airline flying ... so embrace all opportunities and things will come through - each has a different story ......it all depends what you have on your plate - take and make what you wish........
A 145 rating in BMI also opens doors in the Corporate industry on the Legacy - which in itself is a dream for many........
