Maybe Bobby Guzzler would like to back up his statements with some hard facts?
Agree with Ngenfire 100%. AEU (AOC) or more specifically Bond Aviation Solutions (TRTO) offer an excellent course and of the 10 people that started my course in May, all but 2 are flying B737's all round Europe for a living now (often hear them on the RT) and the remaining two are finishing off either 100 or 300 hr line training packages with AEU bvefore approaching airlines at a time when the industry is very lively and these hours I am sure will get them a job with Ryanair and co.
Ngenfire is quite correct.. there was a backlog in line training earlier this year but from what I can see that is almost over now.. had a guy on his pre line training observation on the jump seat to PFO on Wednesday, he has his full BAA ID and will be starting his LT in the next week or two and he only completed his base training the week before...
Hope this helps and looking forward to hearing from Bobby Guzzler.....
