what can I do with a 737 type?

[Coffee]

I have a buddy that swares he can get me money to pay for a 737 type. I think to myself thats really nice but with no turbine
experience what in the world am i going to do with this type.
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. I am a 3Ker ATP, MEI if that helps.

Nothing.

You might be able to pick up chicks with it...but that's about it.

You might be able to impress your mom with it...but that's about it.

Sorry. I have a 737 type, and it is absoulutely useless until I get about 400 more hours of PIC turbine time. Then it'll only be kinda useless.

Corporate operators won't look at you without time in type.

If your buddy can get you money to pay for it, who care what you do with it. Frame it and rub one off to it.. If it's free, go for it!!

How close are you to 1000 PIC turbine? If you are close I say go for it and submit your application to SWA. Also, is this a loan? Consider terms, etc. If it is grant money get the type- couldn't hurt!! Fly safe- Wil

How about teaching with it?

Any ideas about the doors it could open by teaching the aircraft?

wil,

Coffee wrote he had NO turbine time...


Coffee,


If you had some turbine time, you might be able to get a job teaching systems ground school for say, FSI LGB, K&S, Higher Power, etc. But without any turbine time I'd venture a guess to say it'll be difficult.

I like what chperplt wrote. Just go do it for fun. Those are the reasons I did it.

I have a job venture too

Well, while I have a good audiance. I have had a job offer contingent on getting a sic check out in a particular jet. The main deal is that it will cost me 14K. Do you gues have any ideas on that. Thanks for the good information so far

14K for a SIC checkout? Run away.

 

[SDdriver]

Run as fast as you can!!!! Good god 14k for a SIC checkout? I can't believe you are even considering that.

well it will get me a job

I am setting up appts for real estate firms and occasionaly fly a mission when one becomes available. The 14K will also type me in the aircraft. If you got a job for me please pass it on, but it looks like its back to pay to play again. 3Ker ATP,
