Why are SAS and CAE type rating so much cheaper than UK ?

[buzzc152]

Why is it that the Ryanair approved type rating providers offer the course at approx £16500 whilst a UK provider (Bond, Parc etc) charges approx £25k ?

Did I miss something ?

CAE and SAS are there to push through a 100 plus pilots a year for RYR, and they are a production line, high turn over low margin but the UK centres are there to make as much money as they can out of the people who are mad enough to pay for a rating without a job offer.

Is the £25k you quoted for Bond including some kind of line training? Last I heard, they were charging £16500 too?

Thought Astraeus / Bond was about £25k for the 737 rating, £30k with line training?
