Try flying time at Shoreham who use Diamond DA40 / DA42 Glass Cockpit A/C and have a brand new DA42 sim.

There CPL / IR courses are a lot cheaper then the Duchess operators like PAT / BCFT.

A few of the operators that have hired in the past 1 - 2 years sometimes had a preference for glass and got a few people I personally know through to interview just on this and jobs with some private / public operations. Although right now no one will be hiring.

Potentially this year could also see more training organisations going out of business if last year less people did enter into the arena of ATPL exam study, class 1 medicals or were unable to obtain financing required from the banks to train and decided to choose other career paths for the time being.

Like the previous posts, don't pay upfront, use credit card and only top up when you owe them money.

Good luck
