So to the maths :-s
APP Course = £75k PLUS living expenses, PLUS a type rating (possibly). I believe a type rating ranges from £25k-£35k if self funded.
MPL Course = £85k INCLUDING a Type Rating, PLUS living expenses.
Taking all of the above into consideration and the potential gain at the end of the course I think I will be tempted to apply and invest in my future.
but as howfly says....... how come FTE/FLYBE do it all for 80 Grand. no extra 18Grand for accomodation and living etc. That is included. Just bring beer money and swimming shorts. the beer does not cost 18 Gs in Spain.....unless you have a serious liver problem. I doubt it could be a lesser course, hence cheaper. The CAA would never have allowed it to happen.
And failed courses/TRs stickout a mile away when trying to move on. Ask any airline recruitment team. But at least i could have spent all that money to be an air taxi operator post CPL/IR conversion. Not that i see EZY having to drop people due to lack of flying posts. If anything, i see more of the courses running after this one.
Calculated risk indeed.
EZY and OAA are the winners here.
What are the pay scales for the rich....erhem...i mean successful?
