Hi Desperate.
I don't want to sound down beat, but there are quite a few guy's in the Streamline pool at the moment. Some have been there for quite a while. Nobody is quite sure how the take over will affect Streamline. Everyones been told that nothing will change for the foreseeable future.(6-12 months) A couple of new F/O's have just started so there maybe hope.
Good luck with it tho'. Just don't expect a job to land on your lap quickly. Keep looking elsewhere, the industry is starting to move (albeit very, very slowly). I wouldn't bother with a 73 type-rating far too much money for not an enormous difference in employment prospects.
