Hello All,
I was one of the first guys through the PARC scheme - finished my CPL/IR then did my MCC with them and straight onto the selection for type rating. The selection process that has been described sounds like it has not changed since I did it. I agree that the feedback is largely irrelavant. As mentionned earlier they take about 2/3 or 4 from each assessment.
When the programme started candidates were guaranteed a job on successful completion of the type rating. This made parting with the cash a lot easier. There are no guarantees now though.
The boys that got through all got jobs flying 733. However some found jobs in the time it took PARC to find the rest of us a job.
My experience of PARC was a very good one, there are of course people that will disagree with me. I could not fly a cessna 2.5 years ago and now I finally have the dream job flying a jet - with the hours I had this would simply not have been possible at the time I finished training without PARC.
Best of luck to all and have a great New Year.
