Boeing B737 jobs?

As the topic above,

What about 737 (classic/NG) jobs? Example, in Africa a lot of airlines fly the 737 and also in Middle East and Asia. It's not a bad idea to have this TR on the licence and search the first job there, isn't it?
If all young pilots goes on the 320, there will be the need for 737 pilots.

Maybe I'm in wrong.......but I'm thinking to hit the target reasoning to the small airlines (not closed to fail ).

If somebody would like to do a 737 TR, please send me a PM, if we subscribe to a TR course already in 2 people there is a 3% discount (it's not a Super-discount but better than nothing)

Let's give me your impressions or doubt

Regards,
Davide

I don't want to discourage you but everyone today seems to have a 737 TR on his licence.

I have one since march 2006 and several friends of mine too. The TRTO are full of people willing to pay for a 737 TR but believe me : the jobs are few and far between and with no hours on type...you guess what...

Even if you're ready to pay for a line training there are some big issues : waiting times for these shemes are very long (i mean more than one year with astraeus and the likes...hubair...Fsb...)

For the time being I do regret my shiny TR but i'm not hopeless yet.

Wish you good luck, it's a cut throat decision.

Thank you for your message...

if you are willing to pay for a line training, type rating...why don't you open your own airline?

I have a job for you.I will be your customer, but I dont pay you...sounds fair?

Have I said that I would like to pay for line training? I think I said the opposite.......do you read good or do you need glasses?

May be cheaper to get a turbo prop rating - ATR/Dash, do a year, then be swept up by jet operator, without having to pay for the rating. If your Jar rated your chances are very good.

Yeah, that was already in my mind, aboveall cause I've found good prices such as 14500 base check included for the ATR in Greece.

But who tell me that with an ATR without experience on it I'll be employed? I know, also with a 737 or 320 it's the same thing.

Do you know airlines that hire foreign pilots without experience on the ATR? Somebody knows them? Africa?

Are you Jar rated? Aer Arann?, Air Wales?(Uk), In Africa - Selenta (DHL)? I would think with the current loss of pilots to jet operators, seats would be available for rated guys on tps.

I haven't any TR, but JAA licence (ATPL frozen, CPL/IR and MCC).

I think that too but it's always a roulette to choose the TR.

737 jobs, any suggest?

Hi all,

I'm JAA ATPL frozen, 350 TT, 250 IFR, Boeing 737 Classic Type Rated.
Just sent the CV to all the Airlines in Europe, Africa and something in Asia.
Does someone know if there is a specific airline looking for 737 type rated without hours?

Thank you
Davide

Have you tried Jet2? They have taken people previously with no time on type.

Also a new airline in Gibraltar (Fly Gibraltar) using 737-300's. The website still seems to be under construction though so no links just yet for recruitment but worth keeping an eye out.

Good luck

Yes, already sent to both Jet2 and BMI baby. Let's wait.

I'll keep an eye on Fly Gibraltar, thank you! If somebody know something or has a contact (email ecc.) please, share

Something else?

Ok! Just applied, even if I've a 737 Classic Type Rating, but on the licence it's B737-300/900. Is it right to put on the CV "B737-300/900" without saying that it's needed a differential course (just 3-4 days course... )?

Waiting for other opportunities

Cheers
Davide

Anyway, I'd like to let you know that I secured a flying job on a TP. Although I'm pissed to have paid for a 737 rating I'm really happy to start my flying career.

Will try to keep it current.

Good luck to all and don't pay for a rating it is USELESS.

737 line training

Hi guys, I update this thread!

I need your kind help:

as soon as possible I need to start a line training or time building somewhere to get a job on the 737, the airline that offered that to me said they hasn't the possibility to give me the initial training so I need to do it (at least 100 hours) in another airline. Except Astraeus and Pegasus, can you suggest me some airlines that could help me?

Many thanks to who really would like to help me, please, don't tell the same things about the TRs....

Apparently the Fly Gibraltar's flights will be operated by AEU.

D-max, I don't understand why you choosed a TRTO wich can't offer a line training...but after all it's your choice.
Ok here some companies which might take you for the linetraining but don't hope a salary before 200-500 hrs : Sky airlines(Antalya), Corendon Airlines(Antalya), perhaps TNT Airways(Liège).
But one's again there is so much newly type rated pilots without hours on the market...

Good luck,

Oli
