£22,000 = 43,000$
thats too much !!!
i heared that some schools give type ratings for 8,000$

SO AM BUILDING my game plan from NOW ,,
but i think it will be impossible for me to have a type rating as it will be too expensive for me !!
knowing that the full Frozen ATPL course costs 50,000$ !! + type rating cost 43,000$ = 93,000$$$$$$$$
thats too expensive !! i think microsoft flight simulator and a brand new gaming PC is a better choice

7oodaz,

Which country do you want to work in? Do they accept ratings from the US?
What is the normal way pilots are hired for the airlines you're interested in?

Get this info and then you can plan your attack.

If Egypt accepts FAA licenses, get one. Much cheaper than JAA licenses that's for sure.

A JAA rating is exy, you could see if you can do the rating in the US but tested by a JAA rated instructor. You can ask Emirates/CAE as well for quotes as well.

as i have always dreamed to be a pilot since i was 6 !!!

i want to work anywhere

That requires visas, rights of abode or that country's passport. So, you need to know where you can work. The desire is important, but you do need to be practical about it.

most requires hours on type

Most desirable jobs require hours. Not all require hours on type. So, to minimise how much you spend, plan to work your way up if that's possible. Find out if the airlines of your choice take cadets.

Take a job on a turboprop or piston aircraft. Be prepared to travel (see above).
The job I currently have didn't require hours on type, nor for me to pay for that rating. However, they require experience.

There's your answer. Before shelling out a fortune on a JAA lic that you don't really need (unless you have a right of abode/passport to a JAA country) research exactly what your target/ideal airline wants. If a FAA licence is enough plus some flying experience is acceptable, go for it.

You'll find that unless you get your licence in country X, you'll need to convert to that licence. (JAA is slightly different but that's another story)

Think of your research as using a rifle versus a shotgun. Directed and targeted research will be more effective in the long run.

Eg, your dream is to fly for Egyptair.
If they require 2,000 hours with a min of 500 hours on A320 family then what you need to do is work out how to get that. One way to find out is to ask the airline directly if you don't know any one. Most should have that info online or available via their Human Resources dept.
They may even offer suggestions to get that sort of experience.

You might then do some bush flying out of Africa or head off to the Caribbean. Get some time up. Then move to a regional airline etc.
