Type ratings are required for any pilot who acts as a pilot in command of any turbojet powered or for most large aircraft.
If you are currently seeking a position within the Major Airlines, a type rating is the natural next step on your career.
Most pilots transitioning from a piston aircraft into the regional operators likely have their type rating sponsored by the airline. For those who are seeking a transition directly from piston to a large transport category aircraft, more than likely you will be self-sponsoring your Type Rating Training.
In the past, a pilot would only transition into a larger aircraft type when sponsored by the Airline; With the lower price of such training now days, pilots are proactively self-sponsoring type ratings.
A type rating is a career investment and if you plan to grow and upgrade to other aircraft, it will open the doors for your next step.
For those of you that are thinking about a type rating but do not have enough experience to get hired, you may want to take a look at the LINE TRAINING option. Line training will allow you to build the time and acquire the jet experience most operators are looking for. Now days, packages such as 300 to 500 hours of B737 are available to you!
