737 ng typed ... whats next?
 

hey all!

so i jus finished my type on the 737 ng on my FAA license. Not too high on time.. even though this is my third type rating :/ got the DGCA license current too but havent converted the 737 rating on that yet. What are the chances in the market? India or UAE ?

blue skies !

What was your plan before you started the training?

do you have hours on type ? sorry but if not, you won't find a job.

Maybe a 787 type? I'm sure the 4th one will be the charm.................

Don't bother.If you don't go to Africa, they don't like you around here :p

Get A350 TR. Plenty of work globally!

I thought Russia is now accepting expat pilots....

haha! This is a joke right ? 3rd type rating ? No work ?

What exactly is "not too high on time"? How much TT?

I can't believe what I have just read......:ugh:

troll alert guys.

loll .. breathe guys!! this is no troll .

ive had a job before this and thats how got the types... finally self sponsored myself to a bigger jet... TT 500hrs. but now hunting for the airlines.

Not much of a chance in the Middle East.
Can try 737 operators in India. Spice jet for one....

No, let's go by numbers. 747, 757, 767, 777, 787 I also have 737 type rating & that's what I'm planning for.

All right, so I will take the troll bait and bite and ask.
Which two type ratings did you get from your employer?

Next step,

go rent an airplane and get some experience. 500TT is brand new to the game.

Try Lion Air in Indonesia, the regulations constantly change regarding expats but you may get lucky.

gearpins : yeah ive been looking at spice..need to convert my type for that

metroman : lion air is asking for 250hrs minimum on type... last i heard. hope that changes soon!

does anyone know what r the latest requirements for lion air??

Whats next is nothing.

You made a idiotic decision. You could have applied those ten's of thousands of dollars to building time and experience, flying from small airport to airport to meet with Chief Pilots, and impress them at being serious.

Your choice of buying a type rating with ZERO.. and anything under 1500hrs is ZERO, and under 3000hrs basic flying, has led you here. Poor decision making. I wouldn't hire you.

Took me nearly 5000 of flying pistons and turboprops till someone put me thru a jet course.. I was young.. 28 or so. Years later, I get paid enormous amounts to fly very large jets globally. There is no short cute.

Everyone knows who you are and what you did the second they see your CV.

Sorry I lost the plot :E. Who is the troll here :}

Your the troll Apache. How's hanging out at mum and dads going for you? Got an airline job yet?

O yeah.Without having to wander off to distant continents :ouch:

@ female flyah

Spice Jet has been making huge losses.But at the same time they need pilots Only Spice pilots could tell you how many have quit in the last year.They will only take Indian FO's.
I don't know what kind of a bond these companies make you sign.Im sure it is a substantial amount....I had heard it is a huge bond at Lion air, or is it ?

I wouldn't give any money to Spice Jet.Their future looks uncertain.

Priceless:E

I know places where one might go with a self funded type and zero experience. But I won't tell you.

So you have a job now apache? With a jet or TP operator?

Go for somewhere where they offer you a command.

Hey femaleflyah,

I hope you are not taking all this to heart.If you choose to wander about like these fly boy vagabonds, you are going to turn up just as sarcastic and frustrated as them in a few years from now.:}

Jobs
 

@ female flyah... Jobs are coming in near future for 737 Rated. Spice Jet and Air India should be flashing the ad soon. You need to have Jugaad for getting through the entire process.

Femaleflyah,

Apache isn't a pilot. He doesn't understand that nobody pays any attention to what he says.

I am a pilot.The difference is that my job takes me places :cool: And you go to places for a job.:}

Apache you are a 200 hour wannabe living in his parents house somewhere in India.

Femaleflyah, send me $100 and I will tell you exactly how to get to the airlines from where you are :E

:D Pilotchute .The truth is that you don't believe yourself. :p

Apache your a tool.

For $100 flyboyNZ won't be able to offer you the advice you need to flourish in this industry.

For a one time offer and an awfully low price of $10,000 I can help you out female flyah. Tons of jobs available on 737 for low time pilots without any time on type. Don't miss out on the pilot shortage. $10,000 is a pittance compared to what you will be making a few years from now. Remember seniority is everything in this industry; so the sooner you start the better!!! My Nigerian bank representative, I mean flyboyNZ, will be standing by to take your account information. Again act now, time is limited.
p.s. flyboyNZ equitable split? 50/50?

Sorry I thought Tool's were useful

haha.. its funny how some of you get so worked up about this stuff! RELAX TWOTIGERS! :ugh: this is a forum to discuss stuff... not get all hyper about someones lack of experience or choice. Youve clearly been too long in this scene so i think a holiday wil do you good. :ok:

Apache : nahh.. pessimism never bothers me. Im in this for the long run.

And for everyone whose so worried about how i got my two types..firstly thats not the point of this thread. Secondly , u dont know nothing about indian aviation so lets leave it at that. Make peace people, not war!

Lets all be civil here & help if we can okay :)

archit : thankss! yeah im hoping something good turns out from those airlines!

BIGD : your advice is priceless ... u shld get paid for it!!:D

Hate mail is their last resort and my final entertainment :E

New Lion Air Rishworth contract [Archive] - PPRuNe Forums
