type rating required
I have applied in 60 companies(by e mail only).
the 4-5 companies who have already sent me a reply told me: sorry no job for now, or we hire only pilots with XXX type rating. so what does it mean? do I have to do an hold up in a bank to get the money for a type? my experience is 2000h, US ATP, JAR license, FAA flight instructor. what do you think? |
Something like a browning 12 bore over and under is pretty scary...only joking.
Yes that means you need the type on your licence, no exceptions. Apply to a company that offers the rating through an approved training provider ala easyjet and ryanair. what do u think it means? |
Only 60?, Thats nowhere near enough I'm already double that.
Seriously though I wouldnt bother doing a TR unless there was a guarantee of a job at the end of it. If the aviation market continues to improve at its present rate you may not even have to bother especially with 2000 hours. cheers MJR |
Well you could always try applying to one of the dozens of companies who still don't require type ratings ... flybe, logan, eastern, in fact just about every turboprop operator I can think of except maybe Air Wales and that shed-360 freight outfit whose name I can't remember right now.
If all that 2000 hours is instructing and particularly if a lot of it's been flown in the USA then it's not going to exactly blow anyone's hair back in a big-jet airline recruiting office I'm afraid ... especially if there's not any substantial multi engine time. Best to set your sights a little lower perhaps, have you tried any multi-piston operators? |
... or any airline still having 2nd Officers onboard such as CX? Your experience seems to meet their basic requirements.
Have you also given a go to the ATP Scheme? MF |
well, I have 2000h tt, 300 single engine turbine, 400 multi, 200h hours in europe...
I do not know very well the market in europe. I have sent now 100(or 120) resumes and I am still looking for new e mail adress or company names. |
