with the number of unemployed pilots(over 20'000 in europe, thats my statistic), It would be better to spend some money in a flight ticket and go knock directly at the airlines' door, than to spend wisely a fortune on type ratings, that nobody really cares anyway.(ohhh!!, I am so sorry!!!, what we need right now, is a Fokker 100 pilot, we do not have A320 )
in this business, it' s connection and luck!
