Hey guys

This is getting weird. Dont pay anybody to work. Funding your own training is what it is, but paying to do a line flight is downright wrong!!!
In addition you will also have the dubious pleasure of ruining the industry.
I waited for 7 months after my typerating before finally getting hired by a carrier that takes me seriously and my TT is only 235 with 0 HRS on type. I know buying the 100 HRS seems like the easy way but it is not. You will have to wait wait and wait to get your 100 HRS. Certain carriers look down on those who pay to work and last but not least you will have to fund your own stay somewhere with no rights if a training captain decides he does not like you and throws you off the course.
So if you decide to do a rating do your best while youre there. Try to get noticed for your skills and then be patient in your job hunt. Hopefully you will get a job somehow
