Nice Youtube video by the way John. Surprising how you turned that woman into a tiger. Looked like all smoke, mirrors and sleight of hand to me
Anyway, we are only here stating we we personally think. Everyone is quite wlecome to go and spend £00000's of pounds on training. It doesnt matter if it's integrated or modular. I wish people would get off their high horses about the whole thing. Train if you want. Get an FI rating if you want. Pay for that type rating and sit on a jet as FO whilst doing it. Great. But don't then turn around in a few years and think, hey I should be getting paid more than I am, because the guys following you up that ladder will be doing the same and the companies will pay less and less, and the pensions schemes are long gone.
It's not for some people, me included.
All that's being said by the present doomsayers, is that things don't look rosy, and with £70k, you could do so much more!
