Why pay $75,000?
Hey guys,
Having compared the costs of numerous flying schools on the east coast over the past couple of years it seems that the approximate cost of getting all the training you need -
CPL
ME - IR
ATPL"s
- is generally around $60,000...give or take 5 grand. There are however a small number of schools that work out as costing a significant amount more. Schools like GFS and Bae Systems in Adelaide look to be closer to $75,000.
So my question is...does this extra money just account for the fact you're flying newer planes? Would it be realistic to expect that the above named organisations would have the very best instructors out there as opposed to the stock standard 20 year old whose fresh off the instructor rating course??? I presume there is a lot of value in an experienced instructor, and as such would perhaps be prepared to find the extra money in the hope of higher quality training.
Thanks for your thoughts,
Paul
