It is the point I’m afraid, and luckily us naive FR pilots don’t need to ask pprune memebers prior to making our decision.
You’re correct my point isn’t trying to say that EasyJet is amazing, of course there’s better out there. However wanting to be based in LGW and going as a DEC I’d be interested in hearing what other options I have.
Again paying for the rating is obviously something no one wants to do, but I reiterate, I’m not going to China/Middle East just to get a free one, when I won’t even notice I’ve paid for one here...
