A320....If it sounded like I was having a go...my apologies..like you im currently flying turbo-props..and to be honest im fat dumb and happy about it.
Phileas raises a couple of pertinent points.....but he also makes a telling comment
"150 or 200 hours on type should get you a job, how you achieve those hours, well that's up to you!"
as this implies, airlines..and persons of Phileas's position (no Offense phileas..but you know where im going with this) couldnt give 2 hoots as to how the experience is gained...as long as you've got it..they dont care. They are happy to perpetuate this situation as it is financially expedient to do so, and as long as the "more money than sense" brigade continue to line up, then im afraid more wannabes will suffer down the line.
In my opinion...this position is morally bankrupt, in anothers opinion..its just good business.
Apologies again A320 if I seemed a bit mean.
Oh and Phileas...did you pay for your initial TR..and line training?
