fact or fiction?
A lot of £xx/hour for xxxx type and not much fact, so lets look at the numbers!
A well known Florida company OBA are offering a LX2 on a 50 hour package at £2895 and single accomodation at $320/week add the airline ticket LHR- Orlando (expedia today) £400 and for the two week package you get a total cost of £3615 or a total cost hourly cost of £72.30p.
I can offer you a C152 in the UK at about £60-62/log book hour........that is a hard fact so why pay more and take the risk (with some companys) that if you dont fly all the contracted hours you won't get your money back.
Also if you take a few trips abroad you can reduce the hourly rate by about £7 because of fuel excise drawback.
