Chinchaser,
As you are on the inside, I need advice on a very hard question.
Well, as you know I was meant to start my type rating on 5th Nov but was made redundant. I am now in the holding pool and await a call. I have also been selected for the ATP scheme through CTC aviation in Southampton. However, to get my type rating with them, I have to do "their" MCC course and pass it, which means shelling out £6K. Passing it isn't an issue with a bit of work, but what would happen if Britannia came good and re-offered me a contract. Do you think Britannia would theoretically buy me back off of CTC, type rated on the 757?
If you were in my position what would you do? I just don't want to be in the position that, I am bonded to CTC with no work placement and Britannia re-offer me a contact.
Cheers for the help! I know it's a hard question to answer!chinchaser
