Thanks for the replies folks!
I too have heard it is an excellent scheme. Seeing as a MCC course is a pre-requisite for any pilot interview and they generally (and i say generally) work out between £3000 and £4000, i feel the AQC course, which is the course we would all have to pay for if we were accepted onto the ATP scheme, which includes the JOC and MCC for £5500 (without housing) is a bargain.
It also has the added bonus of being put into a holding pool if you get selected for the ATP scheme.
Surely this is a good deal?
