There was a proposal a year or so ago, about this new style of course. A small amount of flying to PPL standard followed by state of the art simulator, with then specific type rating course - Airbus? - straight into the right hand seat, but not qualified for SP commerical operarations.
Cheaper option than the present JAR licence course.
Did this ever get of the ground [no pun intended] and if so which JAR/EU FTOs are offering it??
