Try looking up 'NATCO' in Eagan, MN...I am pretty sure they they would have something for the A320.

Is it true that one can obtain an A320 for $12,500 and a B737 for a lot less. All the training been done on the sim woth no flying in the aircraft required. This would comply with FAA standards which would probably be acceptable to CASA in Aust.

I have absolutely no idea. You might want to try one of the pilot message boards out there.

The only way to NOT have to fly the actual aircraft to get your type is to ALREADY have a turbojet type. Otherwise you have to make "3 bounces".
