Jet Type rating- No firm job?
Just wanted others view on completing an A320 type rating with no job offer. Would it be adviseable? 2500 hours, no turbine, 400 multi.
Cheers

I would advise against it. As newsensation says you could end up going elsewhere and you've blown $30K plus. Worse still you could end up going nowhere..no offense meant. Airlines with jets are taking guys with only piston hours, you don't need a jet endo to get a job. If they like you they'll give you a job no worries.
Good luck.

I know a guy who paid for an A-320 endo and he's still flying a turbo-prop!

In this day and age it is definately an advantage having a type rating.
The airlines may possibly see it as one less person they have to find a training slot for in the sim. And sim time these days is at a premium.
If you want to fly the airbus, there are 2 airlines in Australia and many more in south east asia that are taking pilots fresh out of the sim.
Good luck
