A handsome return on their training investment...
What bollocks.
Bare Minimum outlay for training to gain fATPL/IR/MCC ₤45,000
If we ignore the financial responsibility for a Type Rating @ £23,000 then from the EZY website:
First years pay £26,789 so the first years return on investment -59%
Not what I call a handsome return on investment.
To me a handsome return on investment would be initial sum + 10%, so if I were running a business, I would be looking for a return of £49,500, based on my initial outlay of £45,000.
