At the risk of getting back on topic.
Sounds like an interesting scheme.
What happens if someone has already completed the VA MCC and JOC, are they expected to pay for another course if they pass through the Phase 1 selection process?
Are all graduates of the VA MCC and JOC course in full time flying employment?
If not why don’t VA simply recommend some of their better graduates of the MCC and JOC course to Titan, who could review their training records and assess them maybe with a basic sim test and interview before offering them the type rating?
A more cynical person might suggest that the above course of action would mean that VA make no money out of the selection process and subsequent MCC and JOC courses.
If you do not already have an MCC or JOC and you were going to do the VA course anyway then it’s a no brainer, go for it. If you already have MCC and JOC then there’s the risk of stumping up for a qualification that you already have and not making the grade required during training.
Good luck to those that choose to go ahead and apply.
