Thought I'd post a direct link as people seem confused here.

Cabair Sponsored - FI

I did ask in another thread what these 'low paid' FI jobs are actually taking home? nobody replied last time.

It's a £1,000 NET pay ... So I'm thinking £15k per year for doing the 20hrs per month.

And then the £25 per flight hour after
£10 per solo sign off per hour
£10 per ferry flight per hour
£3 per student or £15 whichever is greater for groundschool.

I don't think this is a bad rate of pay to live off, but then I live in South Wales.

By working for Cabair for 18 months and gaining the FIC, IR, MCC, JOC through them (and probably my CPL before applying) wouldn't this put me in a very good position for a RHS with an airline?

Looking at paying the £10k and doing 18 months work myself, Am I correct in thinking they would pay off the £10k debt (from their half) after the 18 months is complete?

Surley the cost of doing the FIC (£6k), IR (£10k), MCC (£3k) & JOC (£2.5K) with a school like OAT / Cabair is going to amount to nearly £22k and you have a guaranteed job at the end with the marketing ploy of 'We have contacts with BA / Flybe etc'.

Doesn't sound all that bad to me? ... It might start my flying career off quicker than I thought too.
