I thought the deal that the ctc cadets had did not mean handing over 30k for the type rating.
Was it not the case the cadets had completed the sim and were just awaiting base training for the course to be complete.
who paid for this training? was it ctc or easy? if this was the case thats why I would be worried about more cadets coming from the hold pool to replace the first group. once costs have been repaid why would easy give out flying hours worth talking about if they could give it to a new cadet and get the costs back from them so much faster.
what we end up with then is a huge pool of airbus trained, 700 hour flexicrew to join the existing bus pilots with twice the hours.
