Simply ask Manuelvi....I am pretty sure he's gonna give 10500$US to Atlasjet to fly 150 hours, with no job promise
Hi.
Well what you are saying it's not totally true since yes...it's difficult to get a job without hrs on type but not impossible.
All depends also from were you did your training and what are you willing to do in order to obtain what you are dreaming.
It's true, i signed with atlas as last chance but in the last month i was contacted by other 4 airlines not asking me to pay to fly.
I'm still talking with these airlines so it's not so sure i'll pay for my line training.
About atlas again, there is the possibility to join the company after the "training" and if you are willing to move to jeddah you'll get very nicely payed and have the possibility to get the 10500$ back pretty soon.
It's a personal choice, i understand who prefers to wait and get in with luck, determination without time problems but we are not all the same, different ages,backgrounds etc...
A type rating is very expensive: be aware that it's useless without experience on the type and even if you're willing to pay to get into the right seat, it's still hard to get in!
It's hard to get in if you are an idiot, i mean if you got your TR simply because you payed but you don't have a clue on how the airplane flies and believe me, there's a lot of people out there which correspond to this description.
You can pay for a line training yes but you need to be able to fly to do that, it's just not enough to pay to get in fortunately.
cheers
