C152
That has no bearing on a TR with Aer Arann. were not discussing C152 instructor ratings and the method that one school operates, and as its Irish dont stoop so low as to use the "typical Irish" as the obvious means by which that school operates as the norm...! much appreciated!
Hi all
SR, you are well within your rights to criticize me if I get any facts wrong.As far as I know, the largest turbo operator pays £29K for a first year newbie with a reduced sector pay for the first six months/year.I don't know for sure how accurate that is but I'm told from within that it's close enough.
Arran is a good deal for a first timer but crew morale is at rock bottom right now, as the roster is a real hardship.Crews are leaving as fast as they can train the replacements and there is a serious lack of TRI/TREs.Shiny new aircraft don't mean a thing if there's no-one around to fly them.
Hammer, as far as I know, with that particular school, if you had done the FI course with them, you wouldn't pay those costs.They're fed up with instructors leaving after a short stay, just like the turbo operators are fed up with being poached by the jets.You were dead right not to pay, either way.

Of course, you know I didn't mean to offend any Irish chaps out there, half my family are from the Emerald Isle ("I'm not racist me mate's black!" etc..). I think it's more about the plucky, devil may care, give it a chance ethos of ya average Irishman which I sense with Aer Arran and a jab at the not-so-bright but desperate young fATPL holders chomping at the bit to get into their first airline gig that I poked fun at with my posting.... and of course, the not-so-attractive routes available to get there, ergo certain flying schools and their treatment of potential FI's. Gorrah larf ent ya!

Some airlines prefer the integrated moulded student over others who have had less consistancy in their training. I can understand that - at the moment the airline is still in the driving seat on the recruitment front and they have the right to pick who they choose. It ain't piss taking at all.... it's their perogative.
Whether that will be the case in one, or two years time is another matter.

I was laughing at this:
Not the conclusion to which you have jumped. 
As yer can imagine......... I rushed at that one. 
Either they're daft or I am. And I know I'm not.

HI everyone
HI there , I took last year a type rating in ATR in Spain , hoping that this time I might be lucky enough to get a chance but time went by , my Type rating Expired and now I have to spend another 5000euros to renew it , if I were you and you have a contract at front from Aer arann and seeing the job situation world wide ( except some remote places ),I would take it ,I´m sure with turboprop time in UK you can do something more exciting very soon .
Good luck to you
Good luck to you

So with 285 hrs. total and 1 on Type, what's my chances?
And how would they feel about a mail enquiring about the progress of my month old application?
Thanks,

Aer Arann and Asthma
Hi,
Looking to apply to Aer Arann in the future but I have asthma on my record and have passed the class 1 on the basis I have mild asthma and take an inhailor daily.
Would this be a problem for getting into Aer Arann ? Do they just look to see you have class 1 and look no further or do they look into your medical history.
If so and I have to declare asthma to them I will be at a disadvantage to the other candits for the job.
Tks
