Default Type Ratings

I was able to get a 737 type on my previous lay off but this time was another story.

Sadly the United, Delta, Vangaurd, Legend, NWA and many other thousands of furloughed pilots have already gutted the bank account on that one. Most programs now will only offer skills training for things like welding, commercial truck driving or short order cook training. They claim that the occupation of "pilot" is not in demand anymore and therefore no more government funds will be spent to train people for jobs that will not be there. Sorry.
However each state is different in how they interpret the rules and sometimes a lucky few can still slip through.

Good Luck,

SkyHigh
