I always wanted to find someone like you "shinyprop" someone who never ever paid anything and is flying as Captain a big jet
I paid everything from the paper-airplane to the jet, from the PPL to the ATP and all type-ratings.
Don't mix it up a type-rating is an investment in your education level and it always pays back as long as you are a "good pilot".
Unfortunately with China and India and ..... more and more junk airlines are on the market and more and more junk agencies with no idea what they need to look for.
As far as I understood there was a interview at Hainan for a B737 which should have been a serious hiring process as you can expect a serious airline but it was not and that is exactly my experience so shame on the
airline or agency and not on a type-rated professional Pilot that is looking for a serious job.
Thanks for the understanding maybe I see you soon on that big jet
