>The 737 and A320 are the two hottest type ratings in the world right now.<
Yes, there are IF you are current on type - if you have not flown a type for 5 years you have to do the full conversion course again, although the amount of training is at the discretion of the training organisation.
>I find it hard to believe that it's so tough to get work with those hours and those type ratings unless you have some other skeletons in your closet or something ...<
Well, that's precisely my point - it IS tough to get back into the airline world if, by force of circumstance, you have been out of it for a while. I have made several applications to Easy and also have applied to BMI Baby and even know several colleagues working for these companies who I have trained for Command!!
Well, if you call being Pilot Training Manager of Orion Airways for 6 months a "skeleton in the closet" then I plead guilty as charged! By the way, I have been involved in no incidents/accidents to date.
I think Age prejudice is commonplace.
Now where is that box of matches?
