Type rating!
Just thought i would say that i have a mate who has just completed the Astraeus type rating.
He kept his head down, worked hard got on with every one and he now flys for them as a FO. I have also been told that they have recruited two guys from the last course, one with 250 hrs and the other with 600.
He thinks the course was superbly run with great lect.
Even though i think its wrong that some of us are in the position that we need to buy a type rating - i dont think you could go far wrong with Astraeus.
All the best . . . . . .
