Scroggs,
the reason I am considering this is because it is there. If I do it, then I will have spent £80K on my training, so I will have spent the same as those on the Oxford Course but have a type rating and line training as well.
I am also considering an FI rating, because I have the chance of some part time work as an instructor, and it is something I would love to do.
I am also considering buying a share in an aeroplane to get some decent twin hours in.
I am also doing the FAA Groundschool to make me eligible for N-reg aircraft.
I guess you could say I am considering absolutely anything at the moment, but who isn't? I think it is important to keep on adding to my CV , to try and get slightly ahead of all of the other people with approximately 300 hours.
And the £250 on the sim session to check suitability for the type rating course seems a good place to start.
