Alex - thanks for that correction, I knew I was talking about some time ago when the exams were a farce. I suspected they might have tightened up by now. It was only a side issue.
The facts are that you can still get a frozen ATPl CPL IR for £32k if you really realy try. Thats about 10 - 15% more than uunder the old BCPl route. Its not as drastic a rise as it could have been.
As for Integrated courses - well you could have gone to Prestwick in 1998 and paid £52k or Jerez in 2001 and pay £48k.
Foe those moaning about the job market you obviously do not remember the period 1991 - 1996. 1000hr instructors were lucky to being paid - never mind moaning nobody had asked them to fly their jet yet.
The irony is that with a slow down highly possible soon you might all be looking back at 2001 as being a bumper year...
Good luck to one and all,
