Sure you do. Get hired at CAL, no 737 type rating. 2 months later, 73 type in hand. If things go right, a job as SW shortly thereafter. If not, a job that will pay the bills (when they come off first year pay) till things look up.

Already dealt with this, you missed it.

Like I said, that between the sponsor and the guy he recommended.

Actually, all equipment has whiners on it that range from 24 to 60 plus. Do you have a point here?

No, gee, you caught me, busted

Neither does yours where you think that somehow age equates to the amount of whining that goes on.
