self sponsored type rating
Do I or don't I?? That has been the question I've asked myself for the past three years!! I have seen three people (buddies of mine) pay for type ratings, and they are all now employed by airlines. At the time I decided not to waist my money!!! I'm now 35 have a Jar Atpl H/A and over 4600 hrs (Mostly In Helicopters Offshore).
If I would have completed a type rating, three years ago, along with my buddies, I too may be flying a 737 and not still here flying rig pigs to oil rigs..
