any job on B737 with 500hrs on type or better to pay for A320 TR
Is any chance to get a job on B737 with almost 500hrs on type? I've flown classic and NG together, but right now I'm considering to go to Eagle jet and buy some hours, because I didn't see any job listing with less than 1000hrs on type or at least 1000hrs TT, which I don't have, because I did my TR immediatelly after getting my CPL license. I'd like to know, which way is the best to take me back to the airline business. What should be more preffered, A320 TR, or hours on B737, or anything else?

Go and buy another 1500 hrs that should make it 
Maybe when you spend everything you have and end up working in MCDonald's you'll realize that's IT"S WRONG to pay for any line training or s*** like this...Jesus,world is full of idiots

I had a job a few month ago, but due to airline economy problems I'm out of the company, but what can I do right now? Wait a years until there will be a better situation? At least I need to pay for B737 renewal every year and without any flying I'll be loosing my experience.

Ask yourself the question "If I can't find a job with a TR and 500 hours on type, will I be able to get a job with a TR and no hours on type?"
If you're prepared to work abroad, you will probably find a 737 job somewhere.

If this isn't a troll.
Ask yourself why you work. Is it to earn money to keep yourself, attain the lifestyle you aspire to, or to line somebody elses pockets?
If you already have 500hrs on type, there are jobs out there, try looking at other licences like FAA, rather than paying to work.
Try thinking outside of the box and looking abroad.
With that sort of experience you should be looking for another TR.
Infact I cannot believe that I am responding to this sort of thread. As the sort f person that is starting a thread like this, is the sort of person that we don't want in our industry.
Lack of professionalism, willing to be shafted etc etc. To all teh wanabees out there who are desperate to get the first job, remember why you are striving to get to the first job.
If it is tobe cool and pay to work, then you will not go very far and will likely be alienated.
However if you want to do a professional job, to the best of your ability and achieve success through diligence, rigor and most importantly patience then aviation is for you.
Good things come to he who waits.
I would suggest max that you take a long hard look at yourself. You would probably be better off financially doing some instructing or air taxi work, you would probably be better off in the long run.

yeah! buy thousand of hours again! spend all your money and when a chief pilote will ask you to pay a TR falcon (because you never know) you will cry because you will not have enough money 
and I'll take your job because I would have saved my money for the RIGHT type rating asked by the company.

I'm speechless at this man's attitude. Do you have an bottomless bank account or something? Go and do something else until there is a recovery, and you can get a job where you get paid for doing what you are qualified to do! You need to have a fund of savings or pension for your old age, not a string of debts to be paid with no income! If you can't work that out one wonders at your suitability to be a pilot in a commercial airliner. I have 5500 TT, and over 2000 on 737s, and I can't get a job. There is no way that I will be paying for any flying. I hope that tat some point I can get back in an airliner, but there is no way that I am putting myself in hock to do it. I want a standard of living in retirement that is better than a cardboard box on Victoria Embankment. Mrx111 you really need to consider long term consequences.

It makes me weep to read the OP and think that this guy could be serious.
To have a bought a TR and hours on a 737 AND be prepared to speculate on an A320 TR is utterly bonkers.
On a serious note - this makes me worried. If enough of these people are let loose with a CPL, there really is no hope for those with a bit of patience and self respect. Read brains.
Sorry if offence caused.

How About A Blacklist
A blacklist of pilots who have completely bone ideas, or who completely undermine the rest of the industry.
Then if they get a job with a carrier within say a 2 year period, the carrier is named.
We can then choose if we want to fly with a carrier that employs such a desperate nugget who probably shouldn't be flying.

Or......one day you might be a TRE and decide to accidentally resign a certain pile of CV's from those that have gone down the self sponsored route to the filing cabinet conveniently located just under your desk that is emptied at the end of each day.

I know where...in my pocket there is a job for you.
first go to your bank, pick up 100'000$, and the job is for you.
hurry up, only 3 places available.
please sign this:
I agree to give to Dartagnan 100'000$ for an airline job and type rating included. If Dartagnan can not find a job for me, I agree to loose all my money.

Thats funny..
#POOR# guy is desperate..and you guys just tell him to go to hell while YOU all and I included enjoy a Forum which obviously gets its funds from TRTOs and other agencies SELLING type ratings and HOURS on Type.Stop the hypocrisy!
So please guys, if this way of getting hours is making you so sick, leave PPRUNE,that will show us that you are really opposed to such practice.
Fine to advise against it but I dont think such attacks are necessary..
I have flown with guys who bought hours and got a permanent job afterwards..one is now a captain for Ryan Air..
Yes it sucks they jump the queue without saying sorry but hey thats the world we are leaving in now so bite it and get on with YOUR life and im sure youll do just fine your own way..

BBD,
Not quite the blatant hypocricy you seem to think. Last time I checked, the forum users had no control over who advertises. They also recieved none of the revenue.
So, if you are unhappy with the goverment, the best way to get them out is not to vote? If you were on a flight deck and your colleague did somthing you disagree with, you'd just withdraw from the situation?
If the behaviour of these 'pilots' adversly affects me and all others trying to get a real job (where they pay us), I'll say so. Any person worth their professional salt would. And they are doing so.
The argument you put forward to stop us is poor. And thats being kind.

Forgot to say - the queue jumping analogy is also not true.
They are paying for a TR, paying to fly 500 hours and then coming on here asking if there are any jobs going with 500 hours on type. All they are doing is joining the back of another queue. Which is exactly how this thread started!
This is fine - their money and all that. Except the 500 hours they flew and paid for should have gone to a pilot who got paid. Hence the hostility.

More than likely though that the 500 hours they burned did another F/O out of a job. Unfortunately certain carriers now make it a business to enter into these schemes.
Who would have thought that a carrier like BMI would be considering such a thing. Not a nice position to be in if your sat in the RHS wondering why your hours/sector pay just dropped through the floor or worse still they decide to get rid of you and bring in pay to flyers instead.

of course PPrune as no grasp over Eagle JET line training hours for sale right in the middle of my face as im typing ??come on..
Don t tell me that this ad isnt there to reach desperate pilots?so why don t you ask the moderators to withdraw such ads and make each pay for this great service of using pprune??it would be better no?
I don t vote.never did.
Your second point is irrelevant.. and i don t judge my first officers from the size of their wallets, wether they paid for a type and line training before flying with me is NONE of my business, as long as they perform the way they are expected on the day.
Just the same way i don t judge one pilot who went the long way(instructing,modular..) than a guy who forked out 70000 sterling in oxford to come out with 180 hours and expecting a job with the airlines cause he went there...
If i were you id spend my time in a more useful manner than raising hell on a guy like the thread starter..
just my 2 cents..
