I've been busy so haven't commented much on this one.

I've been recommending the RYR deal for over a year now as its basically the only deal in town.

Having issued that statement, and knowing several nice people who are engaged upon the scheme - its a pile of ****.

You're paying 50% above list price for a type rating. You're going to be O Leary's bitch for 6 months and then you're going to be shot in the head or told to sign up to Brookfield. Which is kind of the same thing.


It will start your career. It will get you experience. It will make you Boeing rated. It will open up options. It will allow you to finance the loan repayments.

I know. I know it makes sense. I don't blame you. Read my second line again.


But for those not yet committed to this path TAKE NOTE. The best offer out there is to pay an exorbitant fee to get a trial period with a pilot-hating airline which will force you to become a contractor with close to Zero employment rights over when, where or if you work. Is that £70,000 still burning a hole?

Probably.
