Is the down payment for a TR changing soon?
Hi!
I was wondering if the current down payment to get a Type Rating is going to change in these months or next year. As far as I know, and correct me if I'm wrong, all airlines don't bond their new pilots anymore, except Binter and Wizzair. I've been told that hiring will keep growing in the next months, so I guess that Terms and Conditions should improve.
Also, is there any other viable career to airlines in Europe, where you don't have to pay for your TR or it is paid by the employer?
Many thanks.

Multiple airlines either bond you, pay for the TR through a salary sacrifice or straight up just pay for the Type Rating on your behalf - and not just for pilots with jet time. I am less sure about on the continent as obviously post Brexit it is a closed market to me and I am very happy at my current employer, but UK wise DHL (EAT in the EU) Loganair, Eastern, RVL, West Atlantic, Aurigny, Blue Islands, Skybus, BA, BAEF, BACF all fund the TR with nothing from the employee. The idea that it’s the “go to” is not something we should accept.

That's good to hear! Do you guys think that airlines will be hiring in late 2023 and early 2024, and therefore, a good time to end all the licences and MCC and start sending CVs? Or job offers would be lower than today, April 2023 and hiring would slow down?
Many thanks.

I think that I've never seen a field, apart from aviation, where there are so many different opinions about the same topic. Almost nobody seems to agree in Terms and Conditions, Payments, etc.
