I have been told, though I feely admit I'm not sure of the accuracy of this, that the TRSS scheme comes in at £23k, but Airbus charge £18k. £5k per cadet is a healthy trg profit. I'm also told that the TRSS are then bonded for 5 years, and are put on reduced "inexperienced" salaries. IF this is true, it sounds like they are paying for their rating three times! I hope it's just a dirty rumour.
