Put it this way, how many carriers don't operate the A-320 or B-737?
I really wish this was the case, but it hasn't been for me... Then again I'm only one person. None of the others I did the type with has also had any calls back... All in the same boat, 6000+ no pic. Then I hear about others who have 3500tt no pic in stage II at JB.
That's why I say it's a waste of money.
