GSB in answer to your question, I really couldnt tell you, as to how many getting jobs.

Fact: 3 out of 5 on my course doing 100 hrs
1 of 2 has job(me).

Be under no illusions that this was a massive gamble for me.
I will try to give a run down of my thought process.

1. I had paid less than a oxford candidate and with type rating would be about the same mark.

2. I networked for a year before commiting to TR, on phones with companies and a friend in my new soon to be comopany,

3. I have 2500+ hrs, not just min, so some experience all s/e time

4. I am looking at two years to command(all things considered etc..) as a result of #3. More attractive to airline, in my opinion.

I really would not like to advice any one to do or not do a TR I had enough trouble deciding for myself.

One thing I would say is get the facts dont pay until you have to and get it all in writting.

Good luck in whatever you decide

regards
