Where and how to get B777 type rating resonably?
 

Hi everybody. I am slightly over 50, total 11.000 hrs+, most of that B737/3/4/5. Time to invest money and effort. Any recomendations? No jokes, please.

FAA or JAA?

JAA but I know well no chance for job in FAA environment so I am looking rather for FAA, I believe it is better for Asia.

flying doctor in PRG? We may have flown together in F8.

Try CCL - Korean Air Recruitment Details

at least that comes with a job attached. Or do you have something lined up upoin gaining the rating?

If you're going to Asia, just get an FAA ticket, rating are cheaper there. Run a google search, try Higher Power Aviation, Simcenter.cc, Premair...loads of TRTOs should appear.

Sure we did.

Problem, with no wide bodied time you may not get a DEC with a new type, and being over 45 you will not get Korean FO position, before you spend a small fortune, as the base training will cost that! try Quatar as a sounding board..anyway best of luck

Excuse me, please, I do not recognize DEC abbreviation.

Direct Entry Captain

Thank you. Of course that is more demanding to the operator than as it needs longer line training and so.

Guys, no one to match my point?

I met a guy who flew 737-800s for a now bankrupt Euro airline who is now flying 777s at Qatar. They are hiring - go check it out.

Let Qatar pay for your type rating. Problem solved. Good luck!

For Qatar, you'll have to sign a 4 years contract and stay there..
