Zurich! What? Are
VB paying for E-Jet endorsement or is this tab picked up by the young hopefulls?
Are they at least offering to salary package the cost of the airfare, accomodation, training and per-diems? Or does the new recruit have to go into hock to subsidise
VB's operation? Are they being paid whilst doing the ground school?
How much does all this cost? What is the duration of training with Swissair? Last time I was in Zurich, a 6 min 'phone call to Melbourne cost $22!
My guess would be:
Type rating $30,000.
Airfares: $1,800,
Accomodation (30 days...in a dump): $3,000
Meals and transport: Another $3,000.
Lost Salary:$10,000 (2 months @ $5k/month..would be much, much for me).
That's about $47,000... at least...
