I mean you have to have your other ratings but any ATP pilot can get a type rating in anything if they want to pay for it.

We had a couple pilots at the regional who paid for an airbus type rating thinking it would help them get hired. I mean it might look good on resume I guess, but if you don’t have any time in it, kind of useless.


I really want a B-25 type on my certificate. My uncle flew those in WW2 and I have always wanted to fly one once. The type would be more for the experience once I had it, I wouldn’t be able to really use it.

Clearly flying is a big part of his life. He said he bought a plane when he first started making money. He's had a custom jet for some time.
