Jetflite training

My son did the course when they were called Macflite, he already had his cpl. and had accrued around 700 hours total. The course cost "him" (ha ha cost me and my wife) about $35,000.
The twelve months he spent at M***** was great, pay was award plus the usual allowances. There was no job with them after the 12 months was up and he, like so many others, travelled north to build his hours.
He is now in Queensland flying a twin and loving everything about the job. So is it worth all the expense? Its a lot of money and he could have certainly done it cheaper at his home flying school but that 12 months in the right hand seat of a Metro and the 600 odd turbine hours has to look good in your log book.

Whatever you decide, good luck. There will be sacrifices ahead and the pay in GA is disgusting, but the long term prospects are great!
