Hello Skyflea!
The answer is clear: no aviation jobs in Spain :=:=:=
Many pilots (with huge experience) will be laid off in the next weeks/months (Spanair, ClickAir, Vueling, Lagunair...) and many others are already unemployed (including, around 400 from Futura).
Apart from the experienced ones, there are plenty of low experience unemployed wanabes (between 3000-4000).
No Type Rating will help you get a job in the industry in Spain...at least for now. Concerning biz aviation in particular, the most respected companies are: GESTAIR,EXECUTIVE AIRLINES, SOKO AVIATION,CORPORATE JETS XXI. Normally they require no less than 1500 hrs TT for first officers
Good Luck in your search! :ok:
