Ron,

I don't have a Trade-a-Plane handy, but there are always several quickie
type rating schools advertised there.

When I got my first type rating in a jet, it HAD to be done in an
airplane.
I don't know if that has changed. But my class was going to go for 5
days.
At the last minute United Airlines threw in 3 guys that were upgrading to
captain in a 757. United was not going to use one of their real 757s for
training so these guys were getting their first rating in a Citation.
Then
they could get the 757 rating in a simulator.

This threw a whole dimension into the training, since these guys needed
to
go to the sim the NEXT day. So all four of us had a crash type rating
school
that lasted into the night. "Examiner on staff" took on a whole new
meaning.
I was dangerous when I got out that night. Probably still am!

of standarisation possible.

That's certainly true at some operators.

The reason for my posting is just that I have got the opportunity to
escape
the turboprop if I show a Jet rating which one is not important.

What do you mean by "escaping" the Turboprop?

As far I
was told is the reason therefore to save the touch and goes on the
rating
for the aircrafts these company operates, because the simulator is
company
paid.

That sounds a little fishy... So you are saying that they want you to
pay for a type rating, so that they can waive t&g's on your IOE? Sorry,
but that doesn't make sense to me... What kind of equipment are they
operating and where? Do they operate 121, 135 or 91?

Thats why I look for such a rating quality training or not just cheap
I
dont
use the rating later in that class
afterwards.

Why would you want to pay for something that you are not utilizing,
just
to save the company some dollars for fuel and tires... Doesn't sound
like this company has a very high regard for crew training/proficiency.
If they treat new hires like that, what do you think how this company
operates the line, let alone recurrent training and so on... I don't
think I would want to work for such a company. I know, times are
tough...

Cheers,
Jens
