would have to agree with potkettleblack. i asked this same question and believe me , most bizjet operators are totally against sstr and so if you send off a cv with type rating on it and no hours IT WILL END UP IN THE BIN. also if you say you will pay for your type rating on a cv that will also see it end up in the bin. i know its not what either you or me want to hear but it is the reality. its catch 22 no type and no hours= no job. type and no hours = no job. perseverance and building a network = takes longer but they are hiring because they value you and your personality/ ability. this is only my take on the subject, everyone has their own opinion. no matter what i wish you the best of luck.
