Approval is a big white elephant. Full approval will come in some months time when the CAA re-inspect. In fact we have just had the Spanish CAA visit for Approval status and its gone off just fine.
In the meantime the college operates on a time limited Approval from the CAA. Remember we still haven't opened some buildings like the sim hangar. This is all as per the plan. We will not appear on UK CAA approval list until everything is finished. We can however output JAA CPL?IR Frzn ATPL students as quickly and as often as we like.
If there were some kind of "problem" do you think Aer Lingus and Airtours and soon others would be sending more and more cadets...?
Requirements are 1000TT and 500 instructional. That really is a minimum though.
I am quite pleased with the 10 CV's received. This is only a small forum. The Boss has an A4 folder bursting at the seams with applicants from the Flight adverts.
RC - as of next month BAE will be the first college to require apptitude selection for ALL entrants and we are having to turn people away from our doors even though the price has gone up a lot this year. OATS have a good product. We will have a better one.
Merry Christmas.
