Getting a type rating with hours will for sure put me in good stead for airlines. 500 hr magical hours on type is surely enough to get me into an airline espcially that my total hours are 4500 hrs. I was checking the requirements and I spoke to many captains in ME airlines in the region
Superman, sorry, but you are not just
a little bit naive.
I don't know whom you spoke to, but I can tell you that:
1. 4500 hrs, unless they're on jet aircraft (pref. glass cockpit) are absolutely worthless as far as the airlines are concerned.
2. 500 hrs on a 737 may be the minimum requirement, but there are dozens if not hundreds of experienced First Officers waiting for an interview ahead of you, with five or six times that on a NG or A320. And they are ten years younger than you.
There's no realistic chance for at least another two more years. But go ahead and do what you think is best, you seem to be the advice-resistant type of person. We're wasting our time here.
how come with such experience you have not got in with people like Fly Dubai who are looking for experienced crew on their equipment?
You just don't get it, do you.
