FAA
"I wouldn't bother with the FAA nonsense personally. A company called Avtech2000"... have you taken the FAA course or just the Avtech?
After the ATPL theory, the FAA course is quite likely the best grounding in airline ops that anyone starting out in this business is likely to get. In some ways it is better than the ATPL as it is airline ops specific and stays clear of the more pilot focused subject matter.
Someone should blow the dust off that avtech course, there is no comparison whatsoever between that and the syllabus administered by the FAA. I've taken both and wouldn't rate avtech one bit.
It doesn't matter either that the regulatory aspect of the FAA course is based on FAR's, that is only a small portion of it and EASA regs, or any other for that matter, aren't rocket science. They are all a variation on the same theme.
Bizjetter, there is nothing wrong with the FAA course. The subject matter is relevant and gives you a good basis in the various subjects required to make a start in this business plus, if you ever decided to further your horizons and work overseas then the only way to go is licenced as that is the international standard.
Do your own research and come to your own conclusions!
