Dmax : The line training, you don t pay for it, but it is you that is paid. You get money FROM the airline.
Of course there are people with 100 hours on type without a job. As well as other with 300 ! It also depends upon the person. There are people you don t want employ even with 500 hours on the type ( I met one ex FSB graduate... I understood why nobody wanted him !).
The FSB has also "placed" some Dannish guys within AirBaltic, but that s all I know...
It is true that the waiting list is long, but 100 hours on type is a something fantastic to get a job. Moreover, they place as many people as possible in order to shorten the list. I refused my line training with the FSB because they found me a job.
