Smile Re: Where can i get a BAE 146 type rating?

My word, not a sniff since december eh (which year?). 31 years ago (sigh) I put myself through Oxford and waited nine months 'for a sniff'~and I would think that almost every airline pilot would tell you the same thing. On a more practical note, forget the 146, it's obsolete, getting obsoleter by the moment and a you'd be wasting your money. For a TP type rating it's a toss-up between an ATR or Dash 8, but I think a little patience is in order before spending yet more money. I'm afraid you're going to find that no matter what types/experience you have most operators will want something different. If you have 1000 hrs P1 in the Scruggs Wonderplane Mk1, at the interview 'they' will express regret that you don't have any time in the Mk2. Oh well, have patience, keep knocking on doors and something will turn up, it usually does.
