Default pilot with not many hours

Hi!

I am a holder of JAA commercial license, 1500 hours, and working with my jaa atpl theory, so I will have that frozen.

Can anyone suggest somewhere I can apply? I have only 30 hours multi. Is that too less for airlines in the middle east?

thanks man. Is it a system like, the airline borrow money to the pilot for the type rating and then they take little bit from the wages to cover the expenses for the rating?

And also do you know the requirements for airlines in the Middle East? Like Gulf, Emirates or Qatar?

Well, it varies. Royal Jordanian, the company that I work for, requires 8000 TT in which 1000 on type. The embraer is different. The problem with the Middle East airlines, they mostly require TIME ON TYPE.

I truly recommend applying to Wizzair. Why, solid company and it gives you TIME ON TYPE. That it is required for future jobs that you may want to apply. Best

If you have passed your exams, then try with EZ Jet or Ryanair. they both have cadet programs where you fund your type rating.
