OK I was just curious how it works in the biz jet world - airlines seem to typically get a candidate for whom it is their first airline job to self sponsor the appropriate type rating, not normally any way to get it paid for or bonded.
A lot of airlines have 'non-type rated' recruitment for experienced pilots moving onto a different type but I never seem to see reference to this in the biz jet world.
Perhaps it is just because there are still so many experienced guys sloshing around post the recession that there simply is not demand for non-typed people?
