I have to say that some comments on here about Cabair "Cheque book licencing" are a bit unfair. Everyone who came out the other end of Cabair with a frozen ATPL had to go through all the tests like at any other flight school. The problem may well be that more students failed to make the grade during training and took much longer or gave in. However for those of us with licences from Cabair are just as qualified as anyone else. The actual training was of high standard.
Sometimes I feel that the bad rep of Cabair is holding me back in my job search and that it is unjustified.
