Flying Torquewrench
Well it kind of is correct, I am talking about career progression, not a step sideways. I do not possess a 320 TR so the door is still closed at Monarch for the likes of myself and others, I am flying TPs around the UK & Europe so I can't a) afford a 320 TR, or b) afford the time off to do a 320 TR. Career progression for us is dead.

When J2 phoned me up a year ago they offered me the 757, a 70% contract, pay for my own TR and don't get paid until I start online from final line check, a serious amount of cash for me to outlay and go without. I haven't looked at them since because of this but it might be worth another shot if they are offering bonds etc.
737 classic TR? will NG operators employ you on the back of a 73 classic rating? I don't know. All I know is the 757/737 classic is a dying breed in the UK.
