No such thing as a fast track training course. The only ones that do it are the ADF. That still takes a couple of years and has about a 70% fail rate.

Anyone else trying to get people through in 22 weeks is just fanciful, negligent and just plain deceptive.

Stay away from the Rex type courses that promise much but deliver heart ache. I don’t even think the first Rex cadets have even flown yet!

Nothing worthwhile comes easy and there are no short cuts when it comes to training. That 90k and 22weeks will just blow out to 150-200k and 2 years. Then you will be stuck as an F/O for life. You certainly won’t have time to do your ATPLs while working.

Just go do it the traditional way. It will work out the cheapest, the quickest and the most rewarding. You might even be flying a jet in 3 years with a command a year or 2 after.

Doesn’t that sound better than being a Metro/Saab F/O for life on 40 odd k!
