Intercockpit type rating.
Hi, I'm looking for a good FTO where doing a Type Rating on A320.
I would like to know if someone had some experience in Intercockpit, about the course I'm quite confident that has a hi standard level, but after that do you have more chance to get a job nearly?
Before start the type they make a pre selection or interview?
Thank you for your collaboration.
Ciao.
Flavio.

What a bunch of idiotic responses to a genuinely innocent and reasonable question. The guy enquired about a TRTO. Where did he mention he was interested in 'paying to fly' type line training schemes? Paying for a type rating is NOT 'paying to fly'. RTFQ.

Why are US pilots paying for type rating ?
Simple answer is they "Want a job" and there are no reasonable paying jobs unless they go down this route.
I support anyone who gets off their butts to get a job rather than the wingers on here who complain about SSTR's.
Should I be recruiting I would rather see a guy or girl who has made use of the available employment through paying for a rating than some waster who has sat on their butt doing little or nothing for a year or more.
Anyone looking out for number one and paying for a type rating to get a job has my vote every time.
And I have been in this job for over 35 years and know the industry.
Never pay for just a rating unless you have a job confirmed subject to your course completion.

the thing is Flavio, that I once had a written employment offer which required me to undertake a TR...and guess what that was a pure scam...luckily I realized that before spending any money...
Finding a job was long and painful, it took me year to build up time and finally find a decent employer who paid for my TR (on a TP, never had a sniff of a jet so far) and paid me full salary form day 1 in the company.
I also know loads of guys that are still out of job with their fading TR...and I only have one example close to me that succeeded in his career by buying an Airbus TR to get started...
the thing is, Intercockpit also runs a scheme at the moment for captains...requiring them to......pay..............can you see where all this goes?
Best of luck with your career mate.

one word of advice from someone who did his typre rating with intercockpit: DO NOT GO THERE!!!!
Their website tries to do all it can to show itself as Lufthansa subsidiary which they are not. During the training, they were extremely unprofessional with shortage of instructors and no set training guidlines. MCC was a complete joke and virtually non existent. I can go on and on for hours but instead, take it from me and do yourself a huge favour: GO SOMEWHERE ELSE!

The airline where I work also respects Intercockpit as a leading school & prefers ICT students over others. PM me if anyone wants details.
