And this is why I avoid airline forums. Even a reasonable question is attacked.
I don't know it's value because I always thought if my miserable airline failed I would fall back on the second career I've been building since 9/11. The airline said I had to have a type for Int'l ops. OK fine.
Thankyou to those who saw fit to help vice insult.
As for terrorist assertion I'm headed to Iraq for 2 mo's of military.
Thanks

I have to go back to flying the A320 as an F/O. Having been on it before I can do a 2 week requal or 4 week requal. The 4 week will give me a type rating that I don't currently have (but do on 767).
My question: What is the value of a type rating. If I have to go to another airline would they pick the type rated guy first????
Thanks

If you feel that your current employer is your final employer, by all means, live up that 2 weeks of your life. Otherwise, work hard and enjoy your new type rating.

I never got a job from a type rating, I got my type ratings from my job.
Most type ratings are not going to help unless you already have experience in that type. Ex: type rating and 500 hours as CA/FO. Even international airlines want time in type.
Depending on where you might go or apply the type rating may or may not be worth much.
Is it worthless? No.
