Wanted...pilots with 20 minutes total time...to fly a state of the art A320... with people on board...and duty free onboard, and with ovens for hot meals with a choice of chicken or beef.

That's Europe.

Totally different ball of wax.

You pay $100,000 for your CPL MIFR.

Then you pay another $50,000 to buy your type rating and then you have to pay an airline so you can work for them for free for 300 to 500 hours so you can get your time on type.


In spite of this, there are still a lot of low hours guys looking for work. You'd think with the financial entry bar so high that the supply would be low, but I guess not.
