Back to the topic?
a quick google shows the B777 rating at USD17570. If bought in bulk, this should be considerably less, adding the cost of a flight to get there, fee to put it on the license, hotel + transport, a rating should go for well under 17000. And then of course, as the airline will have you do the training according to their SOPs, they will save the OPC, which should show in the final price of the rating?! (minus 2000 or 3000 USD).
Alteon also offers an abbreviated rating for people with B737 experience for USD11370, and, as the have a sim in Tokyo and Singapore, should this be for KAL or Vietnam Airlines, you should get the rating for well under USD10000, as flights ought to be free...
Not a bad deal me thinks, if Rishworth and that company play fair, this is very acceptable, rather than being bonded.... - I realize these companies may not do it at cost, just want to show yous THEIR cost. Now go and calculate, taking the following into account:
Does Rishworth want it up front from yous or do you give them a bank guarantee and it comes out of the salary? Where do you stand if they cannot deliver on the job? You have to pay or they do? Be VERY careful if something comes out of your pocket upfront.
cheers IP.
