- €30 per diem
- 6 days on, 4 days off
- I had to pay €24000 for the type rating
- there was also a 3 year bond for €11000
- They were charging me €600 for the uniform
- The employment starts after line training

They were genuinely shocked when I told them I'd rather be a flight instructor than accept those terms and conditions.
Also if you do the math you'll be better off as a flight instructor than accept those terms.
I suppose it takes some very, very naive people to accept both a self sponsored typerating AND a bond... They are investing €0 and you pay them if you want to leave
