Agreed, Please Dont. If the company you want to work for cant afford to pay for your type rating, find someone that will. You will never recoup the costs considering all that is involved. ie. Time off work, Hotel, Food and rental car for three weeks. Type rating for a Citation X, for example, is around 28,000 dollars. I would laugh my ass off if someone wanted me to buy my type. I understand wanting to do what it takes in these tough times, but please dont sell your skills short. You will find someone that will take care of you and believe me you dont want to work for someone that wants to short sell your from the get go.
