I agree certainly !
I am like cap loko, thousand of hours, some turbine time,....and noone seems interested by me. all they want is a type rating, they didnt ask for hours as I have already plenty of hours in my logbook.
what should I do???wait until I reach 65 years old, or find the money , do a type and apply?
time have changed,...and soon a type rating will be a minimum reqirement.You want bet? like the MCC.
I am pissed by this situation, where the problem is only money, money, money!!!
oh, and BTW, when airlines will need pilots, they will look in the USA to get airline pilots with experience, they poor EU guy with 300hours, no question!
then the EU will give work permit and a EU"green card" to these experienced pilots.Guys from oxford, Bristol, etc... you can go stamp in your unemployment office. thats the futur!
