Anyone has any information about their A320 Type Rating Program and Line Training?

Haven't heard of them before.

I know I'm always picky about this but the use of the English language on that site is rather sloppy. Should give you a good indication as to their professionalism. Mind you CaFalconAviation hasn't got the best website in the world either and they are semi-decent.

Actually I do remember these characters. I recognise the name. Weren't they asking for €100 up front or something like that just for information?

Hi Alexander, perhaps you’re thinking of one of these 2:

http://pilotschemea320andb737.********.co.uk/ (195 euros up front).

http://a320and737linetraining.********.co.uk/ (119 euros up front).

The linetraining.net A320 type rating does seem a good price 22,500 euros for groundschool, sim, base check, transport and accommodation in Rome is low compared to many in Europe and they do want all money transferred to them before the course starts. That alone would start alarm bells ringing in my head (but I am rather cynical by nature).
I am not passionately pro or anti self funded ratings and/ or hours on type but I would hate to see someone lose a huge sum of money.

I stand corrected.

lol for their type rating course.

''Step 1 - 80 hours of Self Study with CBT and Manuals - 4 days''.......20 hours a day then, good planning.

Is this company a joke or serious?

They are advertising for Type rating + line training (500 hours).

Any info would be nice.

If anybody knows a company prividing line training on B737 either Classic or NG,please PM.
Any help most appreciated.

Cheers

phone call
 

I guys, I received a phone call from them. final cost is over 64.000-Eur.
This is pay to fly.... I am not willing to do this :=
They didn't tell me with which company you will make the line training.

Guys,

I just want to know if this company is legitimate or not. I'm in touch with them to do a Type Rating.

According to their website you must pay the full amount before starting the course (7days) prior. Read below:

Payment Schedule:
Enrollment: 3.200,00 Euro - 20% of Simulator price 16.000,00 Euros - In order to receive the course materials
Final Fee: 19.300,00 Euro - 7 business days prior to course start

My last type rating I did, (very reputable TRTO) few years ago I didn't pay the full amount. I made half at the beginning of the course, and the remaining at the end of type rating course.

It is strange they ask for all the money before starting the course.

Has anyone gone through this company. Are they trustworthy!!

Thank you

Remember the golden rules:

If it sounds too good to be true, it is.

NEVER PAY ANYTHING UPFRONT!

Any serious business will be able to have a pay as you go scheme. Once the money is transferred and the paper is signed you're worth jack s... any complaints will cause you trouble and if you don't have the guts to make such a deal with this much on stake, the aviation market is probably nothing for you.

Hi All, maybe this will help....I have did my MCC with oxford-ryanair, they have asked me all the money upfront! :-)
I did the type rating with linetraining.net, they asked me upfront, I thought...a big risk :\ ....but finally, everything went fine, well done type rating and experienced instructor. I have choose them because I had the opportunity to met them before start my training as they are based in my same country, Italy. :ok:

You are fools to do this, I mean why?

You want it as hobby to fly a jet? 500 hours will NOT get you a job! Well maybe get 1 of 1000 a job, you feeling lucky? :ugh:

well... there was a company in Sicily that was asking that amount of money for type and line training... so I was thinking you were speaking about this company :O

Hi truckflyer, no I'm not feeling luck, I have just did the type rating with them...I still want to wait a bit to take the "fatal" decision of a line training package :( my post was just to assure others that is not a scam :)

Hi guys!

I just say one thing... I did my first A320 type rating on April with them in Rome and all stuffs gone great!Like you, I was not sure before the start of the course but then I met the organizers and I was surspised for the good organization of theory and sim sessions. I had as TRI the old chief pilot of TAP and good airline pilot for theory.
Is not easy to pay someone you don't know but it is a good trto! Go with them!

I Rick: there is only question... Was there a job at the end or have you just blown the money for the fun of it? :rolleyes:

I did only type rating, cause mine was the first course organized by linetraining.net....Now I have to give way to the students who pay for the whole package! but probably in the near future i'll pay for a line training..:\
Unfortunely guys with type only we can't fly, nowadays airlines asking for 500 hrs on type...

Because you think with only 500hrs it will be better ? :ugh:

guys! there are many collegues and my friends that once done 500 hrs on type have found a job! Asian airlines, qatar airways etc...
