Dartagnan,

Is it a verbal or written job offer? What kind of jet will you fly?

I know a couple of guys that had a job offer before doing their TR, and they are still on the ground...

Quote:

if I had paid my own type rating, and a company asks me now to fly in a different aircraft, it means I will have to pay for a second t/rating.

I don't understand your argument...
If you had pay your own type rating, you would have applied to airlines using the same aircraft you are rated on. Well, that's what I did...why make it hard when you can make it simple?

By the way, if you have to pay for a second type rating, what's the problem?? It's not that expensive, and you may have a great deal if you go back to the same TRTO...

But Storm are listing a self funded type rating on the 757 or the 737 (not sure of the operator)for just under 30K with this you get 300 hours on type also. But then on the same page they are advertising for proper f/o slots and they want a minimum (as almost always) of 500 hours on type. Surely for that price they could let you fly for free for them for another 200 hours to at least set you on your way with 500 hours.

I agree with you, I had your same doubts too. It looks like you said, they look for people paying t/r over 737 and 757 and after they don't give them a chance to reach the barrier of the 500 hrs on type which is the actual market barrier from interesting CV and not interesting at all.
After those 300 hrs we can do just speculation but I think they won't give those guy a job while they will probably keep asking others money or just dump them again in the unemployment market . With just those 300 hrs I don't know if those guys will have so many chances to get another job without having to take out money from their wallet again...

But for sure Storm aviation will start the process again :

Check list:}
no t/r people - Look for
29.000 pounds- Ask them
300 hrs - make them fly
in the street - done

and here we go again... Bussiness:oh:

It doesn't smell good :suspect:

How do they work this thing? Do Storm train you then send you out to one of their clients? Does the client get a cut of the profits? Because they are allowing 250 hour total time pilots fly where they normaly demand much higher time. Or do they still pay Storm a fee per hour or what?

chrislikesblue Did u read between the two parenthesis?

You must be loaded then Chris, didn't u say that u already have 737 rating?

What do you mean "assessment for what?". I thought this was for wannabe pilots, frankly chaps I think you can read between the lines enough by now. Anyway now that someone has kindly answered your questions, whether you can read between those lines or not, how about giving them some answers to that originally posted?

Storm Aviation are involved in training for a number of different organisations, aircraft and airlines, which is why I asked what assessment you were on about - they are not all the same. As chrislikesblue is after information about the Storm SSTR (which he could have found by doing a search), and Cabair351 has chosen not to enlighten us, I shall merge this thread with the pre-existing Storm SSTR thread.

Scroggs

Sorry Scroggs,
been away for the holidays. The assessment i was enquiring about was for the A320 Cadet programme.
