I geuss you work for a UK school and that is why you have a problem with this thread. As for the TSA rule, yes it is stupid, but why be patriotic about it as all you get in the UK is very badly ripped off by the schools and CAA. This is just information, I am not trying to sell anything. Obviously anyone who is planning to do it this way will do their own research and find out for themselves how much thay can save. I didn't find it too hard finding a job in the UK having never flown here.
As I said before the test fees in the US are less than £400. The two you have to do in the UK are say £2000 for arguments sake. The fees for the ATPL will eat up another couple of thousand at most. THERE ARE NO LANDING FEES OR APPROACH FEES IN THE US so that would not add to the cost.
You CAN save a huge ammount of money. I don\'t understand how people can argue about that.
