Securing a job before starting a self funded type rating...A dream or reality?
I am aware of a number of scheme's which offer a A320 type rating and 150 hours on the line on completion, with no guarantee for a job. Has anyone heard if it has been possible to secure employment before starting the scheme, for example, asking Easyjet, Monarch, etc for a contract before starting the type rating as you are exposing yourself for £30,000+ if not. I have no problem paying for my own type rating, as I see that as an investment, but not securing a job before it is very risky. If anyone has done such a scheme or managed to secure employment before starting the type rating any advice would be much appreciated.
