How is it just a "paid for" B licence? If airlines offer a 3 years B licence then obviously they appreciate it. Emirates themselves have said that after three years their students who complete the course get jobs with airlines including themselves, BA, Qantas, various air forces and more.
I don't understand why you've decided to make the three year B licence courses seem not as worthy as a 4 year A licence course. Okay you get more experience before getting a B licence but if airlines offer it and airlines take people on from it, what is wrong with me choosing it?
All I am doing is assessing my options and many people on here have told me to get my B licence. You might have a different opinion, it doesn't mean that because you don't think it's the right route that I am suddenly needing luck and making it sound like I am stupid to choose it.
