Rathebelucky, you'd like to think so but the clincher is 1000 pilot in command. Without that there is no short cut, you have to do all the exams, if you've got 1000+ Capt hrs all you have to do is 1 Air Law exam and the IRT and skill test. It'd take me 18 mths to 2 yrs to get the extra 500 I need so not going to happen by Apr 12 I'm afraid.
The other major player is the fact it costs around £10k all in if you take accom etc in to account. I'd prefer 3 £2k dips in to ELCs plus the rest contributed by myself rather than spend 10k this year that I don't have, family commitments etc.
I think a lot of people would like to know where the 22GP team are so we can make educated decisions, but I've heard nothing up to now.
Does anyone have any info on who is on the said 22GP Team?
Cheers all.
