PFDriver you're a little out of touch. NOT ORANGE is talking about NON TYPE RATED (NTR DEC). As a NTR DEC wanting to join LGW base, I would have had to pay £20-£25,000 for the A320 type rating....I was reaffirmed this at the EJ interview. The only bases a NTR DEC doesn't have to pay for the rating is if they join a base in Portugal or PMI.
