Even if some job comes up in bush flying or air taxi you will not have a 1000 hours with a type rating any way,i just don't get it .
I don't get it either, this pay to play, that is. Unfortunately for you, your fellow countrymen 90% of the time pay to fly. Just look at Aegean's recruitment, all typed guys recently. There is no shortage of Greeks willing to pay for type ratings and line hours for the kids.

I know of more than one case of chaps buying a 738 rating and hours on type then buying a 'bus rating with line hours. They both fly for Aegean now.

On the plus side, I also know of several low time FO's with said airline who had no jet time or t/r's. I think the days are gone for now, though.

As you may have now gathered, "how it all works" is money.

Look at the shocking salaries they offer too...

Aegean Airlines pilot jobs, payscales and entry requirements.

Spend 120000 to earn 1200 Euros per month and live in Athens? Madness.
