Iv heard from numerous sources that after my ATP if i go for a 737/320 type on my own money i can give my career a jump start and that way skip the regionals... And that i can get a type rating for b737/a320 for as low as around 10,000.
Im really interested in doing this but it is my hard earned savings and i dont want to gamble with it. Please advise
I got a A320 TR for almost nothing (got hooked up) and Im in the regionals... Trust me when I tell you that the A320 or 737 type will NOT let you skip the regionals... It will not even give you an advantage when you are at the regionals and looking to leave. I thought it would help me because I dont have any PIC time and it doesnt look like any is coming anytime soon so when I got the TR I thought it would help me move on.. The answer to that is NO!
I have 6000+tt 4500 jet and 3 types... I can't get a call back from anyone.. Spirit, Virgin, JB etc etc..
100% waste of money...
