Dear Skyman,
I hoped that more people said this in the past so that this sick jobmarket did not exist.
I once bought with my stupid head an EMB-120 typerating for the price of 45000 Euro's.
When I finally was in the line for upgrade to captain, the company folded.
Finding any kind of job with this airplane in Europe is very difficult.
Now I am unemployed with a dept of 65000 euro's.
I consider getting a 737 type very dangerous because when something happens with the Lcc's you are doomed.
You will have to compete with hightime 737 pilots.
So I will wait, the economy is improving and I hope there will not be so many new pilots.
Financially it is better to wait and in my case I will only accept work with bonding for any kind of airplane TR.
I say No Bucks, no Buck Rogers.
Sincerely G.J.S. Groenendijk
