Wanna,

Ask your self this question- You get a type rating and pay for line hours.

Which Airline, in a country you have the right to work in, will then give you a job?

I don't have the answer- it is for you to research. But if the money you are talking about spending does not qualify you for a job you are able to take, what is the point?

It won't get you a job with Emirates or Etihad, and probably not with Gulf or Air Arabia, so who is it you think you are qualifying to work for?

As has been sugested, you are probably better off seeking work in smaller aircraft to build your hours, so, when you DO get a type rating, you will be employable (even better if you get a job where THEY pay YOU to get a type rating!!)

The fact that you dream of flying an a320 won't make it happen. Becoming an experienced pilot people WANT to be piloting their big shiny Jet will.

Where did you train? Did they give you the impression 275hrs was going to get you a job flying jets? if so, they misled you.
