Last I heard you oly get 50% (of 70%) pay until you complete final line check that took a friend of mine from march through to end of August. Also no crew food and only £2 an hour FTP. You pay £18000 up front for rating and are bonded for another £8000 for line training.
This is all last years info so do stand to be corrected.
That said there is nothing else around so read the thread along side this .... "so you wanted to be a pilot".
