Hi all,
my experience is:
1300 hrs total
1000 hrs jet time on Bae146
Am I experienced enough for long haul company selections?
I found a company with b767 but they want €40.000 for the type rating: is the price honest? is the b767 marketable?
I really don't want to pay, but I have to work and up to now no jobs available apart of Ryan...but ryan is NOT for ME!!
thank you for all sujjestion

Which company was this if I may ask? That's quite a lot of $$$ :sad:

Liftman,
You are being ripped off. Hang out for a while on the 146 and wait until they are willing to "pay" for your conversion training.

hey there!
I am flying the 767 also, started with 190Hrs total time.
I can say one thing to you.... As soon as you are used to the long
haul flight... you never want something different!!
I paid 45K for my rating but I will get 25K back in 3 years.
Goodluck!
Cheers

I suppose with 190 hours total time you are very well qualified to talk about the differences between longhaul and short haul. :rolleyes: I paid 45K for my rating but I will get 25K back in 3 years. That is if HollandExel (correct?) is still in business by then... ;)

Well, it's not everybody , who are so lucky to begin the pilot carrer with 190h flying a B767 !
I believe and all of you know , starting in short-haul , gives you more experience in all routines .
Good luck!
liftman,
if you re looking for a 146 job,
give city jet a try,
we re having some ex azzura pilots on contract here at the moment
good luck anyway,
i personally dont think that 1000 jet time will give you much regional jet experience to consider long haul , i would wait another thousand if I was you

Try Cathay.......... very short, 1000 hrs jet is required.
