Pay for a type at a legacy carrier?
Hi guys,
I have recently finished training with with my fATPL and 232 TT. My initial plan like most was to buy a type at a loco and build up hours and then apply or a carrier with better T&Cs.
But I was thinking what if I offered to pay or a type rating at a legacy carrier, BA, Emirates, Luthansa etc? I could offer €60000 for a type rating and skip the locos?
My fall back plan was to offer a loco €60000 on application on the understanding that I get more hours flying per year than those who pay €28500, and subsequently move on quicker. I understand that hours are dwindling at the locos so this should set me apart.
Is there any else thinking of doing this? Maybe if we get enough people together the airlines might take notice of us?
