to go or not to go..
i have a friend.. 6000 total time, 4000+ pic twin turbine..etc..etc.. he finally decided to get a type rating on the A320 to move to indigo. he was hired but was delayed for almost a year.. he got a call a year later but was not definate on his position was with indigo..
the point is it can go both ways..good or bad.. promises are not concrete untll you are sitting in the cockpit..this i learned very fast in this industry.
my friend did spend lots of money into getting the type rating and even though he is not flying for indigo he does have alot of hours to fall back on. he is now jsut started to fly CRJ90/700/200.
he got a call from indigo soon after he accepted another job offer flying the crj..but he could afford it... i mean he waited all this time.. paid for the type rating and then finally he said...hell with them and took another job offer.
the question is...can you afford the uncertainty...specially with 300 hours to back you up. i mean if you get on with indigo FINE.. but what if not.. what can you do with 300 total time and a type rating....SIC on a ????
this is the path that we all ponder..the cost we have to analyze, and the outcome we project in our aviation carreer.
"love it or leave it"
...and yeah... at 300 hours you can be a sic in an A320, A319, B717, 737, 747, Beech 99, cessna 172....
