I'm wondering about the same thing. A320 family or 737 CL and NG Type Rating?
We have to look on the market.
I think Airbus is going better. In 2016 A320NEO will arrive.
It's not even 2011 yet, forget about 2016!!!
The original poster had half a decent point as he has EXPERIENCE - even though I'd say he still should not pay for his own TR.
If you have 250 hrs and either rating, or even both, STILL NO ONE will give you a job. It's a waste of your (your parents) hard earned money!!!!!
