I was reading this book, about becoming a professional pilot because it is what I have always wanted to do.
Spending $25,000 on ratings and getting paid little for instructing and doing cargo for a couple of years doesn't bother me. But then I got to a chapter on making it into the majors and the book kind of left an open ended question about getting a 737 type rating. This bothers me though because it is another $10,000.
Is spending that much on a type rating worth it just to have it on your resume to go show an airline who may or may not hire you? And doesn't the airline that hires you put you through the same type rating with that company?
