Base training for 737 Classic
 

Hello,
Today Sterling, where my base training for B737 Classic should be done next week - bankrupted... Does anybody, please, has any idea where else in Europe to try to make it? I know about two another guys who need that...
Thanks
Alex

Save your money and dont bother with it!

If they have gone bust, it means lots of 737 pilots will be out there looking for work. why would an airline take you instead of some one with hours on type.

This is why people keep saying a type rating with out hours is useless! And never pay for your own with out a job offer.

best of luck to all at sterling in finding new work.

previous post says it all, however without base training you can't get the type on your licence. Check how long your skills test pass remains valid.

I know Astreus do base checks and I guess someone can do it although they need to provide a TRE who will need to sign you off for training files of which he has had no input. You can surely rent the TRE and the plane somewhere but it sure as hell will cost a small fortune, even split between 3 of you. What about Ryanair ? They have to sign off all different nationality students so maybe have some experience of different training backgrounds ? It will be an -800 though.

Good luck to you and all from Sterling. An airline with a long history.

Find a cat D sim, then you don't need to be signed off on the real plane?

Delta T, not so in JAA land, only pilots with significant previous JAR 25 experience can be signed off with zero flight time training.

For those obtaining the first multi crew ratings then the base check must be completed on the actual aircraft.

CAT D sim
 

That is just for those, who have over 1,500 jet hours.

Yes it must be in a Cat D sim, but it must be certified for Zero Flight Time, and the TRTO must be qualified and certified to offer ZFT.

where?
 

OK, and you know about some like this in Europe? It would be great to know. Thanks Alex

Try Eagle Jet International. They are American, but offer JAA type ratings through their partner airlines.

NG
 

Thanks. I looked at their web site and I see, they have just NG available.

Jat Airways(email them at training(@)jat.com and Ask for Mr. Vladimir Banjac) Jat Airways - Training Centre

Eagle Jet International, Inc. They have something for the 737-Classic.

Good Luck:ok:

Try Air Slovakia, they used to do this a couple of years ago in a -300.

Try Pegasus too.

good luck, IP

Irishpilot I dont think Pegasus have the -300?

Ah! Stupid me, they have the 400 :ugh::ugh:

I've done mine with Pegasus airline in Turkey. Give'em a call, they might be able to squeeze you in

Maybe Corendon or Pegasus can help you.
