A few months back I responded to the GAS ad in flight... At which point I received all the info from GAS, including the 850 bucks for the initial candidate profiling?! It struck me as being massively overpriced. It was at this point I thought I could smell a RAT... and politely told them something about a touching it with a barge pole.
I hope I'm wrong, but I know too many people who are desperate enough (like me) and I know a few others who have taken a loan to put the 737 ticket on their license and are still looking for the first airline job ....All they have done is limit their options and put themselves further into the red.
Do your research, the market is improving and a few more doors are opening. I personally am maximising my options....How piŁ*ed off would you be if you forked out for the 737 ticket then got an interview from Flybe....Do you really think they are going to invest time and cash into someone for the Q400 when they have a jet rating?.
Good luck and wishing everyone a more successful new year!
