hi da20 monkey
like i said those aren't the big airlines but everyone is probably just flying there to get the 1500 hours and then go somewhere else
and not go to ryanair of you can't afford the TR...
i couldn't afford my atpl but got a not so bad deal at my bank which you can extend for a typerating if needed
and i think it's becomming more and more common to pay for your own typerating like ryanair, volotea, airasia, jetairfly (have to pay half and only get summer contract) and probably there will be a lot more companies like this
i know those aren't the greatest jobs around but they are flying
and they are flying 'big' jets and not a cessna or piper instructing (which isn't that bad but i'll like it more as an extra)
