ADM - I hope Mr P's post clarifies why this is a poor deal. £25k for a type rating. Easy are not prepared to guarantee your first years income nor that you will have a job at the end. If they were things might be very different but their not.
Regardless of what you might expect to happen, my bank won't take IOU's on the basis that we can EXPECT a minimum of x number of hours.
I like others have a family to feed and a mortgage to pay. I can't do that on an expectation.
