If your destination is below planning minimums (read; buying a rating/job/training), then plan with 2 alternates (other operators where you could get a shot).

Salary 50-60K SEK after completed linetraining IF you get a job offer, correct? That`s a lot of money for a newhire F/O you know. Sounds like a castke made of sand to me. Remember; IF you get a joboffer AFTER 3 months without salary. Ask yourself; can I afford to go without a paycheck for 3 months (more likely 5 since you also have to actually do the TR course), and then find yourself out on the curb after linetraining? And for how long?

I wouldn`t do this. 600TT and starting salary of 50-60K SEK??? You get a bit weary of these kinds of deals after a few years. I know a few guys who have made this mistake and end up paying a fortune for their own PC/recurrent since they never got the job offer, but still need to keep the rating current in order to be competable in the job market.

Have you applied elsewhere?
