Astraeus/Bond, Sigmar, Eaglejet...whoever! People are still going through these schemes and jumping the line to the RHS. I should know; having been through the process with a lo-co for nearly 8 months, only to be turned round to and told I wasn't getting the job because I didn't have the TR and the time on type. I was later to learn that people who had paid for their TR/line training had become sucessful.
So there you go, it's obviously working for some people. Many would say 'fair play - if you have the money, do it.' These guys must have had a bit of ability to get through everything, even if they paid for it! I don't agree with it, but who cares what I think! Certainly not the person who paid for his 100, 200 or 350 hours in the RHS of his Boeing or Airbus and got a job out of it as a result!
