I am not the one who needs to be flexible with my thinking. I am suggesting more avenues ! Self sponsoring is a way but not the only way and definitely not the smartest way

Do not assume beforehand this post is directed solely at you. If you are sponsoring it yourself.. Well good for you. A vast majority are selling houses or are getting further into the debt trap taking loans for TR

Exactly. The way this post is set up entails that getting an A320 type is a golden ticket to a job. Just because the A320 rating has worked for some hundreds may not necessarily work for everyone else.

Like I said before, A vast majority are going further into the debt trap. Just because you are well off does not mean every one is. I again state that this post is not directed solely at you.

You still need to do your homework . There are at least 4 airlines in India which sponsor your type rating fully and on the big jets. I got typed last week.
