Airbus 320 Type Rating
Hi all, just finished my MEIR a few months ago and now Im looking (like the rest of us) for a right hand seat to sit in for next few years of my life. Ive finally cleared my debt from my flight training, a great feeling i have to say, seeing my balance in the red for so long was making think about becoming a character out of Breaking Bad 
. Anyway I have a friend flying for a pretty big airline and he was saying if i was to get a type rating on the a320 i should be a cert for an interview and hopefully... A JOB!! I was wondering if anyone knew of any good TRTOs (preferably an affordable one and in Europe) that offers an Airbus TR. Its very hard to find any website that advertises cost and i don't want to call around leaving my details everywhere.
Any help would be appreciated!!

Your friend doesn't know what he's talking about. All you'll get buying a TR a without a job lined up is a bank balance that is very much into the red and most likely, no job. There are exceptions absolutely, but few buying speculative TRs actually get employed.

Sorry for the delay in reply guys, i think your right i wasn't willing to go looking for another loan from the bank, the last time it nearly killed me. I wasn't sure where was a good place to do a TR there aren't many at all in Ireland so id have to pay extra for my accommodation and travel. Any suggestions??
