FSI says free training for those involuntarily unemployed

[Gear Monkey]

Nice bit of PR, but could the devil be in Mr first-post avrin's detail?

"FSI will offer recurrent training at no cost to pilots of business aircraft who were training under a full- service contract at the time of their job loss in an aircraft type on which they were training...."

For those unfamiliar with FSI's programmes, they describe theFull Service contract as a 2-year contract which entitles you to unlimited recurrent training on your primary aircraft for a period of 24 months

So, unless I read this wrong, if your employer has paid for unlimited training for you for 24 months but you lose your job, FSI will still give you one recurrent in lieu.

Still, better than a poke in the eye with a burnt stick I suppose.
