Since you insist. I have now corrected my post.
Never insisted... just wanted to know you views.

Lets take a 10000h pilot flying large commercial jets and wanting to move to VIP flying. He or she gets an offer saying that if you are rated on a G550, here's your job and you are on salary now.
Apples and oranges... new tryo paying for a type rating on a 737 or Airbus, versus a current qualified captain on the 737 or airbus.

Not going to happen JJ. Insurance companies and corporate flight departments won't permit it do to no time on type (check the job boards)... and the cost of the type rating won't permit it... and why would a B737 type rated pilot pay for a type rating on a Gulfstream, or any other jet whilst there are BBJ jobs available?
