Not taken personally if i did then both you and i know i would not survive in this industry.
There is nothing wrong with healthy debate.
I have pasted the below from ppjn i doesnt prove the argument but provides more fuel for the fire.
From GB airways section of ppjn
F/O
DEP - Airbus A320/321 type rating prefered otherwise 1000 hours on EFIS Jet.
Cadet - Jerez or Oxford ab initio graduates with 200 hours.
From Bmi Regionals section of ppjn
F/O
Integrated course. Otherwise, 1500hours, MCC, significant multi time, etc.
Now asking new starts to pay for erj type rating. £3000 up front and then monthly.
As i am no longer an instructor maybe im out of date, but I can agree to disagree and hope that Flygirl and the others who have this happy dilema enjoy whatever course they take.
