Whats the best type rating to go for and where?
Dear all,
Im instructing at the moment and toying with the idea of purchasing a type rating. Two questions really which one and where to do it? Any opinions welcome im just trying to get as much thought on the subject as possible before i bite the bullet and splash the cash.
Please forgive any punctuation or grammatical errors.

Im thinking about it too. Had my licence for 2 years now with not much happening.
I'll probably try the ryanair thing, and see how it goes. At the end of the day if a £20k rating gets me 900 hours a year in a jet its been worth while. I also dont like the idea of paying for a rating, but much less like the idea of sitting on the sidelines for another 2 years.
Spoke to some blokes the other day who are self funding, and getting 100 hours on line, £30k later. It allot of money but if it will get you a job.....I recon it worth it.
Not quite shure if Id do it without a prospect of a job, Id do it through a program which has a partner airline eg Ryanair, Asterus etc.
Jut my opinion, so all you SSTR loathers dont shoot me down....

OK, I will give you some advice, just my humble opinion.
Well unless you want to go for a particular airline like Ryanair, if you look at whats being bought and sold around the world, a S**t load of airlines are going A320.

hahaha, and so someone posts with a contradiction straight away.
We are all allowed an opinion, however Spaceman1000 what do you base yours on?
Again, I say, look at which are are being ordered more of right now, 737 or A320?
