Saab 340 rating including 100hrs line training

Hello!

I've got an offer of buying 340 rating including 100hours of line training with a salary (I guess it's quite low). The rating is done through a school in Sweden and the line training is done through a Polish company in Poland.

I live in Sweden and know in addition to Swedish, even Polish and for me, this offer sounds interesting. I see this as a opportunity to get an employment after the line training. I've talked with both the school and the company about job guarantees but they can't promise anything. The school told me however that the chances are quite high because I know the language.

I'm a low timer pilot and have been unemployed for 8 months now. I'm afraid that the company will close the doors for an employment after the line training is done if I choose to take this offer. I feels that if the worst will happens, I'll be back on step 1 and will not be able to take another loan for a another rating.

It's impossible to know what decision is right, only the future can provide it.But is it worth the risk?

What would you do? How is the market for Saab 340 rated pilots? How much is a Saab T/R worth with 100hours?
