The original question posted was
What dictates type given?????
I think I have figured it out.
VB have chosen the biggest schmucks (me included) to go on the Embraer.
That is those people who seem silly enough to pay there own way to Singa or Zurich for nine, yes that is nine weeks and then cough up 30K for the type rating aswell. With accom, flights, rating etc, that is 45k for the sheer enjoyment of flying a mere aeroplane.
And salt into the wound. Embraer threw in type ratings as a sweetner for buying 24 aircraft. So who will be getting our 30K??????
Look forward to meeting you all on the ground school. That is if I am not bankrupt first.
