Go in with your eyes open lads. £80,000 outlay to earn £27k Gross in year 1. You will get based in somewhere like fraggle rock (IOM for the uninitiated)*
Career progression at the moment is limited although it goes look set to improve. Flybe T&C's currently under great threat. Keep watching.*
PTC, OAA, FTE, Cabair all the same they WILL treat you like dirt and take vast sums of money for the privilege. Be under no illusion training is no summer holiday. It's fun but challenging and stressful even for somelike me (all first time passes in minimum time) I found training easy compared to most. Can't imagine it gets any more stressful than repeating an IR or CPL (£2000?!)
PS Anonymity allows for my big head.
