Olympic ATR42/72 Type Rating

[Dub@EIDW]

Has anyone any information good or bad on The Olympic Airlines ATR Type rating course ?

[Carl Rawson]

I'm sorry that I can't answer your question specifically but my sources tell me that if you want a job here in the Uk or Ireland then the man to speak to is Andy Fone at SkyBlue at Exeter airport.
Very respected amongst the ATR fraternity I hear.

Andy Fone.... Now there's a name from the past...New him when I was flying for Streamline/Willow Air out of Exeter....excellant pilot and first class all round ...if he's involved you can trust him for the best advice....

OOOPS! Yes Mr. ATR himself.
He comes highly recomended from many quarters. I think if you're looking at the UK / Irish market he's the only bloke.
I'm looking forward to meeting him myself.

Could anyone tell me how much one of these courses cost ?

[aeroconejo]

I believe it's around £13,500 +VAT....but you'd better call them to check.
