Try one of eagle jets programmes in Miami

They have rating from a Beech 99 up to B737/757,A320/300 It can be quite costly up to $55,000 but for that you get up to 500hrs on type.

As for prostituting yourself as others may suggest i say go for it as if your desperate to fly and there is no other way then what choice do you have.

In the ideal utopia an airline would pay for all your training costs like mine did. But get real and be aware that in this market it just aint gonna happen that easily and anyone who criticises you for it ask them if they were in you position would they hang around waiting for that job that may never happen because the market is saturated with experienced people.

It's easy to pontificate from 33,000ft about those who are only trying to get to the same spot to enjoy what we experience every day.

Look after number one because no else is going to but i also look forward to the day when airlines are taking anyone with a licence.

Good luck
