Kystflygar, I stand by that 100%, but what I should have said in addition is that any airline that requires you to purchase a rating, either through them or on your own, cannot be considered professional. That being said, I understand some of the reasons why some experienced pilots would buy a rating to land a job close to where they live, but where does that leave pilots as a group?
Oh yeah, and I`ll full of $h!t from time to time
Reading through the thread again it seems that we have assumed that threadstarter is straight out of flightschool... But we don`t know his level of experience... I assume the assumption correct though, as he is also querrying about where to get 100hrs linetraining afterwards. At least get the job lined up first
