Ouch,
interesting outlook Skyman, while I do not agree with SSTR I must say that if a Type rating will get me a job then tough. thats life.
I went to the school of hard knocks and if it's the only way to get a foothold in the airline business then that is what i will have to do. Why? well as i am already into £30k for fATPL plus living expenses.
When I started this route I knew i might have to pay for more than a fATPL.
So did you and everybody else who is doing this, you must have unless you had your eyes closed.
Why do you spend so much time moaning, why don't you find somthing better to do?
