Sadly for some this is a good deal. £44k plus £8k flight pay is about £20k than a lot of UK regional pilots earn. Even at 75% it's probably £8k more. Apparently the cost of the rating should reduce after a VAT refund so perhaps after only 2 years the regional pilot is in profit with a far more promising career structure ahead (for now). Like the previous post says, if it suits you take it.
Flexi crew on the other hand. I'd rather earn less where I am than you.
