Cool Check out the AFAP website Jobs

I believe anyone even remotely considering shelling out $$$$$ on a type rating...should just hold fire...the AFAP website is full of jobs....it's only a matter of time until airlines start financing the ratings....and it won't be too long await.... the shortage of instructors is the first visible sign of demand outstripping supply ...eg...Etihad need 400+ Pilots.

Despite all the critics say, it's a well priced type rating and a job flying over a fairly interesting mix of domestic and regional routes. There are opportunities for the younguns to get some jet experience, for the old farts who want to settle home into something fast and regular and also something for those in between. It pays way better than GA and gives you 3 square meals a day.

#1AHRS, agreed... but heard a whisper there may soon be a push by JC for the boys to cough up the $$$ for thier own checks in future? Any truth to it?

There was some talk of that around contract negotiation time. Seems to have died a natural death though and bearing in mind the current pilot shortage, I can't see it being likely for a while, if at all.
