Cost Effective training?
The problem with the frozen 'Airline' pilots licence is that many people fondly believe that one can fly an airliner at the end of that training.
They cant.
Why? Much more training and expense is required after you leave Oxford or where ever to get the type rating and experience. Many people dont seem to get that point. When they do get the point their time and money has run out.
What is needed is a course that takes you into an airline job at course completion (ALL costs included) What is NOT needed is for the bulk of the 60,000 fee being used to fly old technology light aircraft round NDB holds for hours spending 6-7 pounds a minute when that same money could be used to train the pilot in a multicrew airliner simulator - its an ineffective use of the students or the sponsor airlines money to carry on as we are.
And that is what the new Sub-Part K of Lasors is about....
