737.. risposta disinteressata dagli addetti ai lavori
A few days ago I happened to be in Bucharest, Romania and out of curiosity I went to Bue Air base to leave my resume and speak with some captain.
I told I was looking for a sort of type rating sponsorship: I commit myself to buy my type rating through Blue Air and in return I asked if I was given the assurance of a contract.
The cheaf pilot answered me by opening his email imbox and showing me a long list of qualified 737 type rated pilots with hours on type who sent him their resume. Hence he said that they don't do these sort of sponsorship because they would rather hire directly an experienced type rated pilot.
This sounded like a big alarm bell for me because I am one of those low hours pilots who is ready to selfsponsor myself and paying 26K € for a 737 TR and then just through myself in the aviation market.
If this was their answer, with all due respect of Blue Air.. I just imagine what the other companies would say....
