Now let me see......do I find another £18,000 from somewhere, £12,000 of which I will not see again, to buy a type rating on a fairly old turboprop so that I
might get a job paying about £22,000 a year flying about 400 hours, or do I buy a type rating on a jet for a similar amount with a similar chance of a job but paying rather more and flying rather more, or do I spend £6,000 on an instructor rating and get some experience and some money coming in or........? Life is full of decisions, Grasshopper, but some are easier than others
.
And what if you have already been instructing for a few years, so the 6k isn't an option anymore.
Is the decision literally 'Pay 18k for an old turbo prop or a similar amount for a jet' ?
Depressing! That means I would have spent 24k in total.
Although the instructing is great fun and excellent at getting you some great experience, it may well work out as being the more expensive path.
