Mascalzone78,
From reading recent posts you might talk to CH4 on this site or go to Global Aviation's website, I think it's www.globalaviationsolutions.net , if it's not 'net' then it's 'com' or 'org' or something!

GECAT also offer self-sponsored A320 TR

http://www.gecat.co.uk/self.asp

Just goes to show what paying for a type carries with it. Imagine if you were at an interview and were given 5 minutes and a computer (with internet access) to come up with an answer to your question. Are you admitting that determination and creativity is absent, or because if you can pay for it there is no need to think, so in the real world my friend, you will be useless, unless off course you pay. You have to buy a job ehhh? A very proud moment indeed.
Please do not take this the wrong way, just a point of view because to get through a type course you are going to need a hell of a lot of determination. At least you like asking questions so that is a good start in itself.

Try Aeromadrid in Spain, www.aeromadrid.com. They have a typerating course for the A320 and if you would like with first-officer experience (100 till 500 hours on type). For more information you can always contact me, [email protected].

With kind regards,

Theo

Hi ECHIE,

Is the line experience in conjunction with eaglejet? Have you done it?

from the aeromadrid website:

The price for the A320 TR is 36000 Euros.(about 23500 Pounds sterling..)

from the Gecat website:

A320 TR at 15000 Pounds sterling including VAT + 5000-7000 pounds for base training.

Hope it helps.

I wish I had that amount of money left after my Frozen ATPL!!!!

Good luck and do a search on eaglejet on pprune if you decide to do it!

Ciao Mascalzone buona fortuna!!(good luck Mascalzone)

Hi and THANKS A LOT TO EVERYBODY,
I already contacted global and I think that paying 850 pounds just for the assesment is a legal stilling of money.
i think gecat is really good but i have to wait untill april to get the training. the last one is aeromadrid they gave me a really good price 30.600 euros I think I'll go there.
thanks again to everybody
Ciao e volate basso e piano

I called SAS but they told me that they do only type rating for airlines not for sel sponsored pilots.

Call eaglejet (+ 305 278 0012) and talk to a guy named Stephane Hoinville. Eaglejet offer A320 type for $23.800 (£14300) it takes a month.

Or join windjet.it and sign the bond (bank guarantee).....

I suppose this is for an FAA type. The FAA type is very nice but totally useless in a JAA state, unless you want to go through the conversion hassle which will cost you a great amount of €´s or £´s.

Windjet.it ? what's that GEENY?

I tried www.windjet.it but doesn't work.....

Ciao

Hi Everybody,
I called eagle jet but they made me contact pan am and they offerd me an FAA type rating + licence conversion in FAA I don't want that. Anyway I am really interestead about windjet( is that airline based in sicily italy?can't contact them. Can you please tell me how to do it? I'll be gratefull.
grazie
Ciao

Hi!

after reading this thread I was very interested in some F/O experience time (or any line training time), because I already have a rating but very few hours.
So I contacted two companies who are offering something like this.
But hell, I never imagined it would be THAT expensive! Are there any aspects which I don't know and which makes it reasonable?

I always thought that guys in line training, who get not much more than a clap on the shoulder are a quite cheap thing for companies. Anyway the companies are earning a lot of money while you are flying an aircraft for them from A to B an many passengers/freight on board. So why should anyone buy F/O time to gain some weeks of experience when one can easily buy a Mercedes S-Class for the same amount of money???

Any answers?
