TR costs, job offers...
Apparently, there are still job offers out there but, SSTR of course. Examples:
Global Express, 42K Euro
Citation Sovereign, 37K USD
Work contract only after the TR, fees for the six landings will be deducted from you salary...
Who can afford to pay for those TRs??? Could you???

I know that there are type rated Sovereign pilots in Germany unemployed.
Sooner or later somebody who has has spend the money for the type rating will join the club shortly before the recurrent is due.
Would like to know which outfit is offering such "deals"

And mind you, If you can sell an hour or two for the landings, that will give you some income....
The dirty old tricks that so many small operators did already 20 years ago...

5 type ratings on corporate jets, all with FlightSafety or CAE/Simuflite, and never paid myself.
If the offer is for a rating on aircraft not in a Sim I would think a total waste of money.

BE90-200,CE 525, CE500/550/560, CE650, CE 680, CL30, did not pay for one.
Mind you, the last was 5 years ago, different times.
+1. That was the dirty old trick I referred to. Sell hours to poor trainees and when the dude has its rating, relief the next poor soul of his money...

Never paid for one either, gotten my first ones on the aircraft as sims weren't around yet, and the latter ones all at the wellknown sim centres.
I am actively involved in recruiting crew and will not even contemplate a self sponsored candidate, they will find themselves in the bin without even the courtesy of a reply.
I do a bit of freelancing and training and won't even show up if the guy in the RHS is a P2F muppet, no thanks, I am not going to actively participate in eroding my own terms and conditions, been around too long for that one.

IA-1125/G-100, CL 600, CL 604, GLEX. Been at it 20+ years and haven't paid for any.
As a matter of fact I don't know anyone who has paid for their own TR. Not saying it doesn't happen in the US...I just don't think it's as common here.

Not for me it doesn't. I've never understood why someone would be prepared to pay for the privilege of working. There are no circumstances where I would do it.

Well, if you work as freelance for example.
Did you pay for your licenses? Didn't you pay so pay for the privilege to work.
Agree that if you go a full time job, the company must pay the rating.
