if you,ve 1000 tt OR 500 multi, OR 100 on the A320 you could try Indigo. There's eagle jet too but there seems to be a mixed review regarding them. Good luck. Let us know how you get on.

I know a place where you can get 800-900hrs a year.
its called: AN AIRLINE!!! YOU SPINELESS W@NKER!!!!!!!
When you pay to work, you keep another pilot, with a bit of integrity, unemployed.
Your kind deserve every sour and negative remark you get for asking STUPID questions!!!

This is a nutty world! What other PROFESSION would send people to an X factor style wannabe mentality to do this. It's like the old addage 'I'd do anything to be famous me!!'.
Send some CVs and nag some airlines for a JOB. That's why we have PROFESSIONAL licences to be PROFESSIONAL pilots. In other words being PAID to work (and that is what a JOB flying an airbus is when you're on a 4 sector day).
You'd be hard pressed to be taken seriously at interview if you've paid to fly the A320 with 500 hours on type that you've paid for, TR is one thing pal................
FLYING IS A DREAM FOR MANY PEOPLE, WAS FOR ME, AND NOW I'M DOING IT FULL TIME ON THE A320 AND BEING PAID QUITE NICELY THANKYOU, BUT IF I WAS PAYING FOR IT NOW I'D HAVE SHOT MYSELF MONTHS AGO, YOU NUTTER!!
ANYWAY DRUNKEN RANT OVER WITH!!

right, you have to be nuts to pay an airline and fly 4 legs a day without getting out of the cockpit for over 10 hours. it is a job, not an hobby.
the problem is airlines are asking these 500hours for the 320, and I don't see where to do that.
easyjet asks for 50 hours.
I mean it 's the airlines who ask us to pay for line training. They run the zoo, we are the monkeys!
now we have to pay for all licenses, included MCC, type rating and first year work.how much is that? over 200'000 euro?maybe more?
then they cry cuz they need captains!!!!
and it seems that pilots paying for hourbuilding on the 320 in India or in Turkey , are waiting months due to a waiting list, and when they come back to europe, they have problems to make recognize their line training.
I don't know if it is true, but if it is, it is simply scandalous!
all this pain just prove that there are limited jobs,very limited jobs, and you have to be really really lucky to fly for a company nowadays...

It s quite difficult to find a job as a low time pilot if u don't have hours on type. Line training seems to be the only choice
years ago, pilots were complaining about wannabes who are paying for their type rating . Now, most of the pilots buy a TR to secure a job.
Same with the line training , soon it s going to be a must , exactly like getting a TR !!

What utter rubbbish Sami1, there are plenty of jobs out there flying something that is not a Bus or Boeing. But as all you sheep are running off and self funding type ratings it has probably escaped your attention that there are plenty of other aircraft types around; where believe it or not the company funds the rating.
As I have mentioned in other threads, I have now had five invitations to airline interviews/assessments in the last three months. It is true I am not low houred due to a season of full time instructing and previous time as part time instructor. I am not boasting and just trying to show that it is possible to get interviews without paying for ratings or line training.
But it is tragic to think you lot cannot see flying jobs beyond an A320 or Boeing 737, which are probably sone of the least interesting flying jobs in the industry.

'flying an airbus', cos it ain't flying let's face it, is pretty dull at the best of times, I went to the middle east 3 days ago and returned yesterday and I flew for exactly 10 seconds in the 12 hours we were airborne over 2 sectors! The rest was sipping coffee, programming a computer and twiddling knobs, ending in an autoland on my sector at LHR!! Would I pay £40K to do it, hell no!!

Sorry if I sound like a complete tosser here, but SinBin do I not recall you once contemplated the Sigmar/MYT A320 TR with 150 hrs line training before you started with BMI?
I apologise if I am wrong, but I think I recall it was you who posted it a while back?
