Hello everyone!
I need a bit of help. I want to make sure I am getting the right advice!!
I am moving to Europe this year due to personal reasons. I have a EU Passport and I will be converting my ICAO licence. I have over 500hrs turbine multi-crew etc. To convert I can : Do my JAR CPL, IR then MCC
OR Do a type rating on a JAR23 aircraft.
I am more inclined to do the TR as I see more value in a TR then redoing a CPL/IR etc.
Now the question comes... which TR? I have been recommended by schools to do a A320 or B737... Buuuuut due to the GFC I am not sure this is worth it without some hours on type to back the TR...
What do you guys think? I apprerciate how hard it will be to get employment so I always have the option of returning home (I will take this into account when choosing my TR). I was thinking the DHC-8 might be more value even if it was just to reduce cost of my conversion... Although I have yet to look closely at costs.
Any thoughts??
