come on! can't be that bad out there
There are so many out of work 75/76 pilots thanks to the demise of XL, EOS, Silverjet, Zoom, and the reduction of 75 airframes from other fleets.
And there's barely any other jobs out there for which there aren't many very well qualified and experienced pilots already applying.
If you think otherwise, you're mad.

Doing a 757 TR without the base check organised as part of the training has got to be the craziest thing i've seen on here for a long time, and on PPRuNe that's really saying something.
And just so you know, you have 6 months from the date of your LST to do the 6 landings and actually make the application for the rating to go in your licence.

Good luck trying to find a B757 job! I know a few guys out there who were on my B757 TR course, who 18 months later do not have jobs following the Silverjet and Zoom collapse. Most of them are looking at jobs abroad in Portugal or Italy...and further.
You should have signed upto a course with Base Training and Line Training sectors included. Without experience, you're
You could try contacting Astraeus in LGW. They do base training for new TR guys, but you will probably have to pay a few thousand more for sim assessments to make sure you can fly, and fly to their SOPs.
When you do get your rating, you can always apply to other type operators. Having a TR on your licence may get you through the door somewhere.

I'm not 100% sure, but isn't the TRTO responsible to provide the base check for you?
But the best thing is probably just to forget it and stop wasting your money! Maybe you can renew the TR later when the market goes up again, but now with only 500TT...?

Aside from the current situation, just doing a TR without base training organised is crazy.
IT2Pilot - just having a TR on this type doesn't mean anything at the moment without vast experience - there are NO jobs out there on this type in the UK - I know quite a few decent, experienced chaps who cannot secure anything - not even a summer contract.

Hey I'm just trying to help the person find someone who may allow him/her to do base training. I know that the 757 is probably one of the toughest fleets to be searching for employment on...I have a few friends from my 757 TR looking for jobs, as well as experienced friends on type looking.
I'd agree that it is total madness to do a TR without base training. Surely you must have read this on signing for the course.
BmK767, Who was the training provider? It may save other people from going through the same experience!

It happened to me the same thing: 4 italian pilots, we did TR at baltic aviation academy on 757 and after finished the ground, we have been waiting for 4 months for the base check.
They said they suddenly interrupted the contract with the provider. But they weren't able to find another. Now the situation is that we are desperately looking for a provider by ourselves, because within july our TR will expire. And for sure we will take a big legal action against the school.
