All very good points I suppose GA wouldn't be a bad route to go after all, by the sounds of it. LOL . But is 500-600 hrs pic on a 172 even worth anything when trying to get on with an airline? I suppose I' m a bit confused with having to get a TR and then also have hours on type aswell. Let's say I get 737 ng TR k now I've been rated so what's the point how do I build these so called " hrs"? If an airline what's jet time but I have to be type rated to get jet time but they won't take a pilot who strictly has a tr with no time on type :s so how does one get the time on type?
