Propeller......You are the first and only pay to fly Pilot to finally comment on this thread. This is what I was originally looking for when I started this thread. So pay to fly is a success then?!

Funny your username is Lastminutechanges lol

Sorry last minute, I did not see your post as it was in page 3, A320 i understand what you meant now.

I went to Miami straight out of flight school got the TR at the 2nd attempt and then applied for the line training.

Did you do PanAm's new JAA A320 TR ? Or did you get an FAA TR on an FAA license?

just one more point, when you scroll through the forums of pprune you get a feeling of thinking the posts written are valid and gospel

however out in the field in airlines and even pan am you will be surprised at how little most of the people know about pprune

i thought everyone hates p2f but sone guys have never heard of it!! just saying the real world of aviation is sooooo different to the pprune world

FAA Conversion? you need 500 on type to convert foreign type rating. How did you get 500 hours on A320? Do Hermes take FAA CPL's with A320TR??

I understand what you mean, I dont take everything on here as gospel I've been using other methods of getting advice on what to do and most say instruct some say pay to fly.

na not a direct conversion i had to do more sim time in JAA sim etc, whole thing gets complicated just do the JAA from the off and don't start making work for yourself

enjoy your journey I guarantee that at some point you will want to give up when you reach this point contact me and i will bump you back up

as i say these company's are the saviour of the fresh CPL holders giving us a platform to move in to airlines and have a prosperous career god bless them for without them we would be working down the local co-op

don't instruct everyone is warned not to learn with grade 3 instructors, the only instructors getting work are the high up ones, i personally refused to learn with anyone except the chief pilot of my flight school

i will be honest though mate i am hated by pprune members, i have fast tracked myself to an A320 with very little effort, cheap TR and the gift of the gab, I'm your typical essex boy with wealthy family that own night clubs etc but thats just me, if people want to judge me i don't care i fly A320 and i am happy, i get paid and live life to the full

Propellers,

So in your world the only people good enough to fly big stuff are the ones with the means to pay for a type and line training. What about the guys that are at the limit financially and cant get anymore cash?

The fact that your family seem to have buckets of spare money is great for you but what about everyone else?

I don't think I would like to share a flight deck with you. I don't think we would have much to talk about.

na I feel bad for the guys that cant afford the LT its not nice, but I also feel bad for the kids dying of malaria in africa, its life and god decides our fate

but there is nothing I can do about it, we all look after ourself these days ya know!

I would honestly say if you cant afford TR and LT don't even start learning to fly

Because aviation is only Boeing or Airbus, right?

"I would honestly say if you cant afford TR and LT don't even start learning to fly"

so basically you mean the only reason because you fly the 320 it's because you paid.
so yes you are just a monkey with money, you said this!

yeah i ain't the quickest of cats and yes the only reason i am here is because of money!

and to redbull no its not just boeing or airbus but if thats the goal right out of flight school i would say LT & TR has to be factored in to the budget

I am damned if I ever "worked" my way up as instructor I would do more harm than good
my general aviation knowledge on the whole is poor I am thinking of going back to the basics to see if I understand the books more now I am a bit more experienced

No not always! It is funny how the same syntax and spelling errors often crop up, particularly when somebody registers a few usernames to lend support.

Propellers, aren't you simply a persona created by eastern_skyjets?

I would bet a tenner that you are!

so propellers, you are stating you are a complete id**t, who learn something just during a paid TR and a paid LT about the a320 and that's it?

gooood pilot!

Oh come on.....You do!

Why resort to slang and poor spelling? You are normally quite proficient in this particular guise as this thread demonstrates..

A lot of people come on these forums looking for good advice and help, which is hard enough to find at the best of times. Is it really fair to mislead them in this fashion?
