One of the reasons that Eaglejet have reduced their price for the 737 programs is simply because of demand. They have to furnish an airline(s) with candidates on a regular basis and therefore need to get a constant supply of candidates. They achieve this by lowering the price but beware there are also alot of other 300hr/500hr pilots from Ryanair that are hoping to leave for a new airline. With this in mind you must THINK carefully about it, the value of the B737 at present is reduced but certainly not irrelevant comapred to the airbus program which possesses a greater value at present. If memory serves me correct there was a recent thread regarding the lack of hours per month wannabes were receiving half of which 'appeared' to be observation. Thus the hours build up very slowly and means staying on the porgram and working for free far longer than some of you may have previously envisaged with a subsequent strain on finances. Nevertheless it's still a GOOD PROGRAM so don't be put off by any of comments, simply bear them in mind as you go forward.

Please tread carefully things aren't always as simple as they seem. Best of luck.
