I agree with Pm. i do not think it's good to pay for a type rating. the company must do it. but I don't think it will be different in the next years. Now schools are providing the tq, line training. it's a business. I am very angry about all this, but what can I do ? I will be 32 this year, with no experience, no type qualification. I am very motivated. I want to work, I need to work. I don't want to say myself : ok you won't ever be a pilot ! If you know a company ready to hire me right now, let me know !! although I don't want to pay for a tq, I don't think I will find a job without it. So what to do ?
