Hi All,
I have a bit of a conundrum at the moment as I'm not quite sure what path to take.
I currently have my CPL/MEIR (275 hours) and am a little "mature"
I have been offered work has an instructor but this would mean doing the relevant rating, I have worked out the cost to be about £7000 inc. everything and living expenses.
I haven't done my MCC thing yet but have found a training provider and it will be £3000 (inc JOC).
I eventually want to work for Netjets or similar outfit but I'm not limiting my options, I'd work anywhere and for anybody.
Now my problem is should I do the FIC first and wait to do the MCC or do it the other way round. I can't afford to do both straight away and will have to wait 6 months before doing the one I dropped.
I also have to consider my age (36ish) and that it's March and most airlines have probably recruited by now. So I'm tempted in doing the MCC last.
However, this knocks me out of the running for loads of jobs (just in case my numbers come up )
So my brain says FIC (work thru summer as FI) and then do the MCC in September/October.
However, my heart and "gut" feeling tell me to do the MCC in the next month and do the FIC later. This could mean sitting on my bum for the whole summer not getting a sniff of AVGAS.
I would appreciate any comments.
P.s I'm not usually this in decisive (honest
)
PPS Not interested in SSTR!!
