I have spoken to the Admissions and a Flight instructor from Comair.
The deal is if and when you obtain your Flight Instructors rating (after all the other 6 modules, PPL, CPL, ATPL e. c .t. 11 months approx. ) From them, there is a 98 % chance of employment.
You then can build up to 900hr of flight time instructing $10 an hr, possible $900 dollar a month, which will cover living expenses.
You can do this for approx. 12 months as long as you get your JI visa.
You then start your MIR in the states then you go to the UK to finish of your MIR with Atlantic Flight training. You also do your MCC
Comair use Atlantic to piggyback off to issue their JAA licence.
I still have to confirm if i require a FAA licence to fly in states, there brochure does not mention it, but i recon you would need it to fly or else you can fly using cover from your instructors licence, AerLingus cadets did this in USA before. Comair do all the skill and written tests in the states apart from MIR, MCC. The brochures do not include cost for any notes, tests apart from PPL, headset, and medical.
I would prefer to do the FI rating last so that i can get the CV out faster, then return and build the hours.
I am from IRL so it would be cheaper than any UK/ESP school (€40000 cheaper than OAT) and you get more hrs, fly from 25th busiest airport in world with an Airline owned by Delta that trains pilots for Airlines.
I am travelling there in February to check it out (they will also give you back up to$500 for your visiting airfare if you enrol with them), so if you require any specific info mail me or if anyone knows anything mail me please.
Please excuse grammar and spelling
