Are they still looking for keen, hard working, loyal 300 hr wonnabes with resource to self fund a TR?
Whose the best contact these days... JK?

Not much help top you this but was just thinking about the half dozen or so CV's and e-mails i have sent implying that i would fund a TR to get a job.
When i have sent a CV without implying that, i got a please fox oscar letter.
When i send a CV saying that i WOULD fund a TR, i get no reply at all.
It's CRAZY out there.
To be fair, they must recieve thousands of un-solicited CV's so cannot really blame them.
good luck.

Sent my covering letter & CV to Emerald last week (200hr just got fATPL).
Got a fiendly little email back from the Chief Pilot thanking me for writing in but saying at the moment they need guys with around 1000hrs experience.

1000 hrs
Yes. Apparently, they had trouble with low hour guys (like myself) not getting through the type rating.
Not sure if that is true.
If it is: Trust a few to make our lives more difficult. Marvellous!

Not a happy TRI then.
It's a shame, as I am sure there are a great deal of very capable low hour guys out there who could have made a good impression.
Do you know if that guy was self sponsored or was emerald paying, thus adding insult to injury

The HS748 rating is quite demanding for low hours guys. You get around 10 hours including test, so not long to pick up the aircraft, and due to the lack of autopilot and old instrumentation, you have to be a pretty sharp cookie.
Also, we only fly around 350 hours a year, with long duty hours, so from a company point of view, if all we take is low houred guys, we would be looking at 3-4 years for an ATPL & 5+ for a command. If the experienced guys leave we'll have nobody to promote.
Not Saying its impossible, just shedding some light on the situation.
