Try also Bond Aviation (Astraeus) at Gatwick & see what price you can get (At least you can also do line trg. with them out of LGW)

Largest 757 operators

If you check the recent flight international survey, the largest european operator of the 75 is DHL/EAT - a combined fleet of 35...There are rumours of recruitment, but again would be looking for airline experience

fish 757 type rating

Hi chaps. Im thinking of taking the plunge and funding a 75' rating on the basis that vast majority of people seem to go the 73/320 route, and its what i've always wanted.

Just after any information and tips regarding TRTOs, and what the chances of a job at the end of it are in your opinions.

Am i just mad?

Any comments (good or bad) welcome.

Thanx

Don't bother with 75 it is an obsolete type with few operators.The vast majority go for 73/A320 for a good reason!Also don't self fund until you have tried Easy Jet2, T'fly, Ryanair, at least these guarantee you a job at he end of your TRTO.
Good luck!

I did a 757 rating recently (with a job guarantee at the end of it), but the TRTO also did self funded ratings. Everyone on my course has a job, as has most of the next course. There are 757 jobs around at the moment.
Go and have a look on ppjn.com and filter for 757, there are alot of operators around.
It is also a 767 rating and that is most definately not an 'obsolete type'.

Go for it, it is a lovely aircraft to fly.

Sorry to be a pain, but if you could copy and paste the info on the course that you sent to the other guys and forward it to myself, I would be very grateful.

Does anyone know if ctc are still a 757 trto, and if so do they take self-funded individuals?

Any suggestions regarding other 75 trtos (preferably uk but not essential) would be v welcome
