Gonnabe,
You will certainly find cheaper options out there, but as Bond is the training division of Astraeus, there is always a chance that things can lead from there if you shine, especially if you are buying a package with line time, which would be flown with Astaeus. Obviousely there are no guarantees, but atleast you will have trained to their SOP's and you would be a known quantity. I actually didn't think the actual type rating package was bad for £16,250...you get all types post 200 for that and the base check.
With regards to EagleJet, I have only heard the stories (some okay) from on here.
Anway, I am biting the bullet and have an assessment on Monday with them.
I will keep you all up to speed.
