The figure I quoted was for a 96 hour month plus pay for standbys and nightstop allowences. Please note that we also accrue approx £5 holiday pay per flying hour which was not included in my figure (as we get paid this when on leave). I am not an SFO, as previously stated I have just passed 1000 hours total time.
Wingo, my entire training, from start to finished cost just under £70k, this is including any cost for acommodation. I did not borrow any money. I have no reason to lie to you folks, my real identity isn't exactly a secret and it's pretty easy for anyone who reads my posts to figure out who I am.
