I am finally thinking of doing a type rating to help get that first job. What would be the best aircraft to go for?
I am looking for an aircraft I don't need 500 hours on type to be able to apply for a job, so it looks like regional aircraft.
Out of these Embraer 135/145, ATR, and Dash 8 spring to mind.
From these what would be the most suitable (easy to fly) for a 300 hour frozen ATPL holder to go for?
Which will offer the best chance of employment after?
Finally, it has been a while since my IR test, do I need to be fully up to speed with my IR skills when learning on a multi crew aircraft?
