to type or not to type????

[jocksaway69]

Well guys am still coming to KL in June 2005..... Have 3000 ish hours mostly single/piston/turbine. Have read alot of posts suggesting type rated pilots would have better chance at interview/job.

Question is will the companies is Maylasia take a type rating for 737-200 from USA or would they want a type rating of there choice.
Help please as it's a lot of $$$$$ and really don't have it to waste. (Like anyone does huh!!!!)
Safe flying guys

Give Air Asia a call and ask them what they want & do us all a huge favour post it here. :ok:

Don't know about Air Asia but Transmile Air might be interested. Try to find out from http://www.transmile.com

Air Asia takes in 732 rated pilots with 732 hours and convert them to 733s... got a couple of friends gone that way... But don't expect western payscales!
I dunno about only having a 732 rating... if you want to only have the rating and not the 737 hrs, go for 733 ratings for a safer bet (if money is no object)...

Thanks for the info.... think I may just wait till I get there as caravan pay does not convert to doing a type rating where I come from...... not on a western pay scale in central america either. Still can't have everything do have the sun and the sea and all that goes with it ;)

If anyone does have any advice on rating before arriving in KL still keen to hear.

Cheers
