I've been looking into this for a while as well, but still not having any luck. I know of a guy who got a job on an A320 with only a rating, so it possible (prob more who you know, than what).
I'm looking for something on a 737, but info is hard to come by, someone must have a little inside goss?
2000TT all the 737TRs and not a Chinese national - got to be something out there, surely
(sorry goosensheep, not trying to hijack your thread, just in the same boat and looking for info too)
