Importance of a TR...
 

How important is a type rating when looking for a job nowadays? I have heard so many sides to the TR neccesity. What bugs me is the fact that some people with 200 hrs TT with a type rating land in jobs while others with 1500+ hrs TT without a type rating struggle in getting jobs.... For £17-18.000, I can either get a B737NG TR or fly for 1000+ hrs on a C152/172. In today's market, which is more preferable? Is a TR the way to go? :*
