Any old CPL/IR route is high risk, as you need basic skills to flourish on the MCC/JOC course.
Without a solid foundation, you will be totally overwhelmed when stepping up from a 2T light twin, to say a 737-800 weighing in at say 60+T

Something about a silk purse..........

Hence why PPL was done in UK with night and VMC. Also next school is top rated with candidates getting placed to airlines every week.

And is this "top rated" school also in the UK, or elsewhere?

Let us know post licence issue how the MCC & type rating course work out.

Best of luck

The MCC/JOC courses are undertaken following licence issue for modular people.

Some are part of the flying school (usually ATOs integrated) who might take modular students, or some are stand alone which are used following the modular route.

You pays your money, and takes your choice.

Contact me for possible options as advertising is not permitted on forums.

Noooo, I don't see any value in what the UK has to offer, unless you are tagged/sponsored you aren't getting into a flag carrier anyway, so its low cost, FR have very low recruitment from UK schools it would seem so its Sleazy or flybe, and man cannot survive on £500 a month on the chance of a 6 month contract.

The money im saving should get me to a Type Rating without debt, even doing the MCC at a "prestige" school.

Just from your above post alone, I'd do a lot more research before spending any money!

And you might want to start by not calling employers "Sleazy"...

Some serious issues here....

How much more researching would you like me to do? I have spent over a year reading listening watching asking, not just here but local real world commercial pilots. There is very little I could further research.

On the topic of "Sleazy" its a lighthearted comment. Do you think the Recruitment sit here reading pprune forums striking names off a list of potential future employees?

You would be surprised......

When you do go for an interview you need to be aware that the receptionist is also on the panel, as is anyone you meet for lunch.

I personally knew of one somewhat hot headed Saab 340 FO who made a rather "unfortunate" post about a would be employer having just applied for his first jet job.
The fleet manager (SQ) read it, phoned up the individual within hours of the post........needless to say that was the end of that. He eventually ended up in the sandpit.

Junior birdmen need to be acutely aware that these forums are read by important people who may or may not post. BEWARE.
