I know of at least 3 people who got nothing out of an earlier scheme having paid for thier own TR. However, one of my mates attended a recent interview for Emerald and they told him things are on the up there and they need pilots. I told him to proceed with caution but I think the prospect of getting into a large aircraft will sway him into taking it. Personally, I think turning it down is the right choice but I would be interested to find out whos paid and who is actually flying the line.
Good luck to everyone involved whatever they decide.
P.S. Ive also heard that Atlantic are probably going to take over Emerald? Rumour or truth? Is that a good thing for the new pilots or not?
Anyone know?
