B737 Airlines recruiting now. 500 hours on type
Hi!
I would like to move to a different company where I could fly more than the average 20-25 hours per month I'm doing now.
I have 500 hours on the 737 (300, 400, 500 and 800 series) and 700 TT.
Regarding Ryanair, I saw they are asking for 50 pounds just to send your cv. Does anybody know if they are in needs of pilots or they are just looking for cv's in order to get 50 pounds per each?
Any other idea in Europe?
Thanks!!!

FlyDubai have just announced an order for 54 737-800s starting next May. I guess they'll need people to fly them!
No question you'll fly more than 20hrs/ month and get paid more than 1800 Euro!!

Exact!
I know many pilots with the TR for Boeing 737 300-900 looking for job without experience on the type but with a lot of total flight time hours!
The contractors asked for 500 hrs on type but if you are just TR with a total flight time of 3000 hrs they are not interested of you.

I would be very careful getting a TR or paying for line training at the current situation. We are facing what is so called a recession, I belive that we are in it right now. People are not traveling as they use to, and oil prices are increasing so not many airlines are recruiting at this time. I belive this will change, but when how knows!!
To answer your question, there are couple of agencies still recruiting on the 737 NG. Rishworth are collecting CVs for an airline in South Korea, no names here!!! and also collecting for a company in North Africa.
Parc are recruiting 737 pilots for a company in Vietnam, and as you mentioned Ryan Air is hiring for their Europe base.

Sorry - maybe I should repost to clear up my thoughts on the matter:
At least pilots are guaranteed an income once they have paid for their type rating!!! I mean, I could never see the day when some pay to fly with an airline just to build hours - so we are safe there I guess!!! Yip Yip, Fnaar Fnaar, Oh Err Missus, can you detect a touch of sarcasm and irony in my post?????
How about that - any more subtle?????

you will have a good chance to get in with your 500 hrs on type. How many they are recruiting? that I don't know, but they will be slowing down. Remember that they are not buying fuel for 60-70$ a barrol anymore.
Regarding the contract jobs (agencies) your total time is a little bit to low. You will be competing with FAA pilots from US that has been forloughed recently with several different Typer Ratings and several thousands of hours on the logbook.
I recommend you apply to ryan air and see what happens, but KEEP YOUR CURRENT job. Hard to find employment this days.
Good luck,
