Just out of interest, do the Finnish pilots who fail the Finncomm aptitude tests get the option to pay for their own type ratings and then work for Finncomm? Or do they get the option to elect not to take them at all and pay for their own rating and work like you? If not, I could imagine such a system may cause low hour Finnish pilots to feel hard done by!
Everything is CBT based so when you do the technical part, you do it all from CBT. I haven't done my test yet so I'll have to wait and see. I believe we will get manuals later on for the classroom part of the training (performance, w and b etc...). Regarding permits, I know nothing. I just hope that I'll get the type transferred onto my license in the end... Is that perhaps aiming to high
Regarding failing aptitude testing, I haven't got the slightest Idea so I dont want to make a guess of how they'd handle it, but I feel very doubtful of them employing someone who's failed, be it for contract or for full employment.
