I paid for the sim assessment and int because,
1. I hadn't had an int or sim assessment before and I wanted the experience.
2. Even though I don't want to work for them I wanted to go along and get the answers to some questions "straight from the horses mouth", so to speak. No offence to anyone on here, but you do hear a lot of conflicting things (although, not on how bad FR is!!) so I wanted to go along and get the info first hand.
3. And I was going to go and get some practice in a sim anyway and I was quoted 320 quid an hour for that!!
And I did get a few things out of it. All of which seems fairly straightforward.....so if
inveritas found it "baffling", maybe that says more about the pilots that say yes to FR!!
