I guess my observation is that there are many, many Gulfstream jobs showing up on the jobs boards, all requiring a type rating, and if the only type ratings handed out are with new airplane purchases, then theoretically, if all those planes are still flying, there should be a shortage of type rated Gulfstream pilots, which doesn't seem to be the case. In my experience, such as it is, just buying a type rating doesn't even help, since all of the jobs I've seen require anywhere from 250 - 1000 hours on type as well.
So is there any road to a Gulfstream job that doesn't include being onsite when a plane is purchased?
