Integrated rip off
Any one who thinks that an integrated course is a good idea at the moment has a few screws loose, these guys end up paying for line trainning with the likes of Easy Jet & Ryanair!
Lets get this clear, they have a type rating, the aircraft they are flying is in service with paying passengers and these airlines are charging them IRO£15,000 to act as co pilot!
Would any Plumber or bricklayer who had the training all done pay you to build a wall or install a sink................. I think not!!!!!
The fact is these companys will let you do the flying that you have paid for and then chuck you in the "holding pool" and get another sucker that is funded by the bank of Mum & Dad to sit in the seat.
I know that putting bums on seats is the business of airlines but who twenty years back would have predicted that the most profitable seat an airline could sell was the co-pilots!
Take a good look at the wannabes forum and go modular, it will save you IRO £50.000.
