A320 Line Training

Dear all,

guess like most of you out there, i came to a point where i need to decide what to do with my pilot license. Whether to continue spending money with no job guarantee at the end or to count my loss and give it up. Hence why i need big help for my last try.
Would anyone of you out there know any airline that offer a good LINE TRAINING (compromise with the cost vs the hrs) and a possible job offer at the end of the LINE training?
Please advice if any...
Thanks a lot and hope for the best.

You're posting the exact same question in different forums here ( http://www.pprune.org/canada/532937-...-training.html ). Once would suffice.

It depends on your financial status.
Are you looking at an A-320 rating, inclusive of line training with an airline without a job guarantee?

No airline or recognized rating agency here gives a job guarantee after your rating & line training is finished with them. And what if by chance you do get into an airline job that needs a B-737Ng rating? Pay enormous amounts again for this?

If no other avenue is open, try the instructional route as an API. At least it will keep you in touch with hands on flying without the costs of building additional hrs and keep your licences valid. Moreover, your aviation knowledge base will increase.

My two bit opinion. Finally its your call.

Pay to Flyers are the pariahs of the industry.

You want a career in aviation? Flight Instruct. Missionary flying. Airline Cadet Programs.

Go back to University, get a degree that will help you find a career that will make you financially secure rather than getting yourself into a deeper money pit.

@ Haregot

I don't know how anyone can give you any kind of right advice if you don't give out any details.

1) How old are you ?
2) What do you mean by ' continue to spending money'.Are you spending money on renewing your license ?
3) Are you sitting at home right now or have you engaged in some kind of constructive activity- like getting yourself a degree or finding some other job to keep going.
4) How long have you been unemployed ?
5) Where are you from exactly ?
6) How much money are you left with or can afford in the future ?
7) What are your qualifications other than a pilots license ?

No one can really help you unless they know what your situation really is !
