James D, I really don't know who you think you are. I chose my Flight School as the Modular route saved me over £25K. There was no last resort, I was offered a place on an Integrated course with the CAA approved Integrated School in Australia. Fact is I hold JAA CPL ME IR with fATPL. If you read my original post I did say I'm not interested in peoples view's on paying for a Type rating. I know many who have done the same and this is by no means a reflection on their abilities but more a reflection of the times . Maybe you should concentrate on finding yourself Employment instead of outlandish view's.
To everyone with intelligent view's, The Employment offer is based on me completing 300 hour's first. The contract includes minimum hours for both line and duty.
Regarding the 737 Type Rating, I know the CAA have reduced hour requirements for Pilots with Airline Hour's and my question was if anyone had info on TRTO's offering lower hour ratings.

CMvidini im not quite sure what your getting at here.
When you embark on a 737 TR ,previous experience on other aircraft or "Airline hours" does not come into it , there is "no reduction of hours"
You do what is required of the training syllabus of the TRTO or Airline who is providing the training for the specific aircraft that you are being trained on.
There is no cutting of corners with the hours requirements and rightly so.
The only reduction in hours would be if you were transitioning on the same family of aircraft , ie A320 to A340 or 737 Classic to 737NG, only then would you do an abbreivated or abridged course.
Hope this helps

cmvidini,
No offense mate, but you seem too focused on that shiny 737.
I am sorry I questioned that in my earlier post, it's just that it doesn't show in the way you write about things here.
