So a similar cost comparison would be....
Total cost £41656.00
Assuming that you commute from home to Leeds
Now this too is based on first time passes and minimum hours, time to complete at your own speed, took me just over a year.
So to compare both you would have a saving of £30175.00
Enough to get a Type Rating and Hours on a Jet or that rather nice new car you always wanted....
So the £30175 question is this.....is intergrated really worth the extra £30175.00.Are you guaranteed in writing that you will be offered a job with the likes of BA after finishing.... Also BA DO charge you for the Type Rating even if you are ex Oxford, source BAPLA EOC a few weeks ago.
