Sorry if I offended anyone. but Towers, you prove my point. what if I offerd you the chance NOT to sell your Camra Gears, or mortage a smaller lump out of your house. Sounds to good to be true? well look outside the EU!
I fail to see your point, I am in the position you were in a while ago, I'm sure you remeber, maybe not as vivid as it seems when your in the heat of it.
Training has become even more expensive. and the people in the thread saying closing the US door is a good thing. I really can't understand it. the EU/JAA see the damage the Cheap state training does. "Banning" it is their action, rather than trying to ease the cost of training.
Has BAe's move to spain have anything to do with the fact they don't VAT on training? does Westminister get the hint?
There seems to be the growing misconseption that EVERYONE here wants to be a Airline pilot. well I don't, but I'm lumped in the same boat as everone else, I want to be an instructor, why, because if I can make flying one bit as fun and interesting as one of my PPL instructors did, I will be putting something back. as for your ten pounds, I don't have ten pounds. I don't have anything. I'm living out my folks pockets, and I already own money to the banks. and till I've got my ticket I've got nothing to show but big debt.
The US are starting to face a pilot shortage, even with their different system. the EU are already seing a downturn, and yet want to choke the system more. why is the banning of choosing how you get a licence a good thing?
WWW. 6K, Where and flying what? its definatly not in my area. Having a US IR for not much more would help with the UK IR a great deal more. Bang for buck the US wins and the EU know it. Why does banning Commercial training in the US help any wannabie?
