base training B737 NG

[cupoftea]

Dear collegues,

I have done a JAA B737NG Typerating and need to do the Base training.
Where would this be possible for a decent price?

Please let me know the company and price. Really appreciated.

and are you then going to pay someone to let you fly it on the line

[Love_joy]

1 x hour in the circuit, plus possible positioning time, aircraft hire and an approved training capt...

I'd hate to think! If you're in the UK - maybe Astraeus... or even Ryanair?

Good luck! And please post back once you get it done.

If you did the type rating at a JAA TRTO they must have arrangements for base training if required, it is part of the approval process, ask your TRTO, I doubt you will get anyone to just do base training having not done your sim.

[cupoftea]

Yes Kirk, they let you sort it out yourself but they give a suggestion, which is a partner company, which then turns out very expensive.

5 green light, I am afraid this is the way it is nowadays, I have always sworn I would not do this either

I have accepted to pay but do not want to be ripped off

[cupoftea]

I also understand that you can do your basecheck on a classic, allthough you have done a NG sim. perhaps not wise, but legally acceptable to authorities and no conversion course needed.

But perhaps a TRE can shine a light on this

Hmmm sounds like the man from the chipshop in Cardiff again.
Still, think he has far bigger problems on his plate right now!

[beachbumflyer]

Are you going to pay to work, too?
I know, nowadays integrity and dignity are very low.

Cupoftea, Best of Luck though!

[cupoftea]

Are you going to pay to work, too?

I was afraid the discussion would turn into this...........

beachbum, things are easy to judge from behind your laptop, but you do not have the facts.

I had recently been layed off after rumbling allong on Turboprops for the last 15 years, having seen most of the world but increasingly spending more time abroad and away from the family.

So prefer to have something more comfortable, closer to home, so I am able to see the kids abit more.

Having several typerating been paid by employers, as it should be, unfortunately those times are over. I can wait and sit at home for the job to come by or spend a bit of money and take control of the situation.

I see it as an investment, and no, I am not going to pay for the linetraining.but 737 aircraft are plenty and jobs are available

And allthough this probably means i have to start on the right seat again after 8 years of absence, for a small paycheck so be it.

At least I will spent more time at home, which is worth more than a few bucks

so now you know the story.judge as you like

[shaun ryder]

And from me, worst of luck. You do realise that your chances of employment will be absolutely jack s***. Pay to fly scum have infested my workplace whilst we are all on 90 days. Prepare to be treated with contempt by myself and many of my honorable colleagues in your future career and thats if you are lucky!

May your precious type rating on the NG come to bite you in the arse one day.

[Kirks gusset]

If you do the sim on the classic, the base training on the classic then do a NG diffs course, you get 737 300-900 on the ticket.

If you did all NG sim, you will need to do an NG to classic diffs course.

Usually TRTOs that " leave you to sort it out" are selling courses cheap and the sting in the tail, as you will find, will be the base training.

As a guide, you will need 6 landings and I would budget for 1 hr in the A/c, between 6 and 8000 euro.

Try Sabenavita at Vilnius, speak to Darius:

Good luck

Hello cuppa

ref

but 737 aircraft are plenty and jobs are available

???

I am not so sure. I have 1700 hours total, 1300 of those on the 737 split 50/50 between Classic and NG.

I an going to be told in the next couple of days that me and about 120 others are to be made redundant from a UK Charter Airline.

I have been looking for 737 jobs for the last 3 months, and there aren't any for First Officers. Is it 8 years since you last flew for a living?

Turkest Airlines are looking for 737NG direct entry captains

You may be lucky????? and get into Ryan direct entry if your last job was in command???

[Fly Better!]

I have to admit I have just skimmed this thread as I am off out, but I would have thought the last thing the UK needs right now is another 737 pilot looking for a job.

There are going to be plenty from Thomson and BMI. Good luck.

[cupoftea]

And from me, worst of luck

Shaun Ryder, that was not a very kind post.

I understand your frustation but I do not think I am competition for you as I have no intention to fly in the UK.

But why this hardship. We all do what we can to get a job.Did I critisize you for the flight school you payed to get your first job? perhaps you spend more money than someone else could to be at flight school x that had good connections. Was that unfair to your collegues?Did the other wish you bad for that?

Grow up. I have flown long enough to be layed off a few times and things were different 20 years ago but I did not have a mobile phone either in those days.You were probably to young to remember that.

Nowadays it is like this, I would have rather spent my money different as well, but so be it. You can sit and whine at home or do something about it. It is your choice.

Do you have sufficient experience to do Zero Flight Time in a simulator? ie circuits in the sim

[BALLSOUT]

Cuppa, If I were you, I wouldn't get the type rating just now. I would suggest you make it clear to prospective employers that you have the cash, and are willing to pay for a type rating, should they be willing to offer you a position with them. If they then give you a job, they can take your money and train you up. You also keep your options open for a number of types.

[ei-flyer]

wow, talk about a workforce turning on themselves when times are bad...

shaun, funny how i highly doubt you'd be caught dead saying that to the gentleman's face. i know you'd be in receipt of a smash to the chops if you did to me mate!

some people need to grow up. times have changed for better or for worse, get over it.

[macdo]

honest to god, COT, if youv'e been in this industry as long as you say, you'd have kept your head down in the tp world and waited for better times. Good luck anyway!
