To be honest, Afro, I have no idea where people get the money for that type rating. I guess you could include it in a loan for an integrated course. This explains why some people leave school with a 100.000 euro debt with little job prospects.
That's not a typo.
So maybe I am better off after all.
There is conflicting opinion about whether you have more chance of getting a job if you did integrated rather than modular. And even modular is difficult to fund if you have a simple part-time job. Those theory exams are only valid 3 years, after all.
And finding a general aviation job in this part of the world is a bit of a gamble too, I think.
But yes, it is an option.
Are you in europe?
