Can anyone help with a question regarding B744 type rating courses for both/either FAA and JAA?
Am trying to nail down costs for training and sims thru rating issue. BA offers courses, but am looking to keep costs down to something bearable, (read believable). :eek:
I have some 5000+ on the Jurassic, but have been offered a -400 job and rating by a JAR ACMI operator, with a Bank Guarantee required. I understand that bonds are illegal under EU rules, but "Bank Guarantees" are kosher. What gives?
Does anyone have any experience in acquiring a cost-effective -400 rating other than with one of the Euro Flag Carriers?
