I'm not ashamed!
Paid for type rating, had job second week of course,through hard work and networking.
Fly the 737 3/5 enjoying it so much and glad I did it. Well aware of risk involved, not a rich kid, I flew sep for two years saved every penny I earned.
I'll be reading these threads in two years time, probably word for word.
There are plenty of TP operators out there willing to give a new guy a chance so its not as if we are depriving you of any job.
Incidently my outfit Charge for the type rating regardless of experience if not type rated, majority of guys who paid before me direct to company( I self typed) were from other companies.
Happy with my choice and wish some of you would stop bitching about those of us who get what we want
