Royal Victorian Aero Club = the only honest VETFEE approved training providers in the room!!!
All by the book!
Kelpie, they put the price of their MECIR up by quite a bit when they got fee-help, surely it can't all be to cover the extra admin cost can it?
Peter,
I have said this before to you, some of the guys got a dream run through OAA, straight to England, pushed through line training and thanks to the union work on a ok contract. There are others who were one the same course who are over a year behind due to a backlog in the type rating and line training. There are also a number of guys who got booted from the course at OAA and while their motivation was a factor, very little was done to support them.
It can work but it's a gamble just like GA. There are great stories and terrible ones from both, GA costs a lot less and gives you some amazing life experience that the guys plugged straight into jets on the east coast don't get.
