Could someone tell me where I'm going to take my 2000 Ejet hours? Easy, Ryan, monarch, Thomson, Thomas Cook?? All of those are either cadet only employers or type rated only. BA and jet2 will take you with TP command time and the sandpit isn't for me (and many others).
You are all talking like its still 2007 and airlines care what experience you have. Times have changed and it really doesn't matter any more, in fact the less experience the better. Unless you're rated or ready to take a shafting you're not going anywhere so take the option that pays the most and try and retire ASAP.
