Selling typeratings is a way of making money for the airlines. Pure business. Personally I don't think you are better off with a B737 typerating and 1 hour on type, than you would be without a typerating. OK, if you could sign an employment-contract with the airline before starting the typerating course, it is a different matter. But guess what; no airline does that, because first they want your money, THEN they look at their own needs, and you might not be a part of that even though they trained you to 'the highest standards'. A moneymachine, nothing but....

PARC or other agencies are not interested in low-timers. You need at least 500 hours on type before you are interesting. If anybody tells you otherwise, it's sales talk.

Prove me wrong!
