Thanks Snail, from what you have written, it seems you are veering on the side of Type Rating ?
Instructors Ratings are about £6000, I am in the fortunate position where I can still live on the pay, it is for the experience and I would not be taking things lightly with regards to students, I want to be a good instructor, so that when the airlines come calling I stand out.
I will look into Emerald, I think BAC is not running them for a few months at least.
Thanks Again ...
