I'd like to know what kind of experience you people have who are commenting? Just by looking through Flightinternationals joblines and talking to captains at MyTravel and FlyMe I've formed an opinion that it's not that hard to get at least the linetraining at lowcost carriers if you have a type-rating. Take India for example, they are clearly in an extreme need for pilots right now since they've increased retirement age up to 65 years for a captain... or am I totaly wrong?
I know of a lot of pilots who has gotten a job at for example Ryanair in Sweden right after finishing their type-rating...
