Thanks for the speedy replies guys
Dutchman - you have answered my question perfectly so thank you very much.
As for getting straight into the RHS of an airliner, not for one moment did think that this was guarenteed or even likely to happen. After re-reading this thread nobody has mentioned that this would happen. Tino purely said that it "has" happened and I'm sure that the likes of Cabair/OATS/SFT/Jerez etc could claim the same thing. I am thinking of this like any other fto in that at the end of an intergrated course you will have ~200hrs and no job - just the licence. I am aware of the work that then has to be done but I would still be interested to hear of what previous student have done upon completion. I would think that this would be a fairly standard question to ask about any fto regardless of who they were. It really doesn't hurt to find out these things as long as the answers are kept in perspective.
