Slightly confused? My understanding from your previous posts were that you were doing an ICP course as you had been unsuccessful with two wings cadet applications? Sorry this doesn't be appear to be working out as you would have hoped, although presumably it is still early days and you are still in the ground school phase?
The airline partner you have mentioned doesn't charge for type ratings, and six month placements are not salaried in any event. Remuneration during this period comes from a combination of FTO repayments from the bond, and airline expenses. Employment contracts dovetailing from the placements depend on the requirements at that time and the cadets performance during the placement period. This Winter the cadets were offered 9/3 contracts with salary payments spread evenly over 12 months. The previous two years all placements resulted in full time permanent contracts. Your statement doesn't make sense?
There is no doubt that there is a great deal of hard work involved, and any idea that you are simply buying into a career is likely to hit a brick wall of reality very quickly.
Private flying is relatively inexpensive in the grand scheme of things, and it would be wise to utilize, experience and enjoy this aspect of flying before writing out the big cheques.
