15K for a JAA approved 737 rating is cheap! easyJet pay more than that!
GUV.. This business of the bank loan sounds like an old Brymon proposal where the loan was in the individuals' name but the payments were covered by the company whilst you remained there. There was insurance incase the company went tits up to cover the balance. If you left, then the individual carried the can for the balance of the loan. No different than a reducing bond apart from you can't walk away so easily.
Maybe the £50 application fee and £150 sim check should be refunded if you are taken on...
Are they dealing with this in house one asks?
Couldn't the SUN just sponser another G-TITS and pay for the cost.
