pakythepilot,
I was being sarcastic when I asked what the type rating should cost! I was trying to convey that paying around the 15-16k mark (all in) for an 8 week course, for the privilege of getting an interview and possibly a job, was not a good deal.
You may be surprised to know that they also offer the same service to get modular pilots into Flybe. Flybe has been recruiting pilots with 200 hours from modular schools for years; without the need for this elaborate course from Kura aviation.
If you’re going to place someone in a 737 sim for 40 hours in Holland on this glorified JOC course, why not just Type Rate them on the aircraft for the intended airline? At least the poor buggers will have something to show for their 8 weeks off work and their 15-16k.
This is just an “ATP- like” scheme in disguise and is a lot more expensive.
All in my own humble opinion of course and all the usual disclaimers.
