Are you mad?

Don't mean to be disrespectful, but is it really worth shelling out all that money for a type rating with no concrete job offer at the end of it?

Please tell me you have a job offer and that you're not going to do it based on the Streamline promise of being placed in the pool. You won't hear from them.

I was hoping to have completed my mcc course in time for the type rating course you are about to start, so that I could embark upon this route to hopefully move the career forward. Unfortunately I was let down at the last minute by my mcc training partner and therefore not able to start the type rating course. Normal negative responses to your thread so far as per normal. Good luck on the course and I would be most interested in hearing about your progress.

I believe Streamline (and BAC) run their courses as a profitable part of the business and not to only provide a pool of pilots.

Both have enough "pooled" type rated pilots to cover their needs for the next couple of years and indeed there are pilots that have been in the "pool" for this length of time.

Also there are not that many Shorts operators.

In fact, Emerald and BAC are the ONLY shed operators in the uk!

Give yourself a chance and do a 737 rating instead.

Hi Desperate.

I don't want to sound down beat, but there are quite a few guy's in the Streamline pool at the moment. Some have been there for quite a while. Nobody is quite sure how the take over will affect Streamline. Everyones been told that nothing will change for the foreseeable future.(6-12 months) A couple of new F/O's have just started so there maybe hope.

Good luck with it tho'. Just don't expect a job to land on your lap quickly. Keep looking elsewhere, the industry is starting to move (albeit very, very slowly). I wouldn't bother with a 73 type-rating far too much money for not an enormous difference in employment prospects.

You could do far worse than gaining a type rating with streamline.
No I dont work for them.
However I did a SD 360 type rating with them a few years back. Found it to be the jump start my career needed.
Best of luck.
