My dearest fellow Surfer,
The ATP scheme itself is right ruddy marvellous and I can't give it enough praise. Where else do 200 hr guys and gals get to fly a jet and be rated for essentially 4.5k (you get 2k of the initial 6.5k back after line training completion). Not bad I think you'll agree.
Then when your 6 months has been completed on subsistence allowances you go onto full and not reduced salary, and you're not bonded - how good is that. Don't listen to people slagging it off in these forums, do you think they might not have got in?
Anyway, it's the best route in, the training is superb, and the people you deal with are even better. Any other questions then please pm.
