Amazing !
The only captains they'll get to pay £245 are C152 captains,
Or maybe if they offer TP captains a leg up to a ' jet ' .

I guess if you've spunked £100k on your ' dream ',
£245 doesn't seem like much more, but the principle ?

And yet they keep coming like lemmings

You would have thought that for £245 they would include a high quality lube.

No, you have to purchase that as well for £55 anyway we digress.

I am slightly confused by all this, are they actually charging to interview experienced pilots as well? Does this charge encompass everyone or just cadets?

Hi all

If anyone has recently had the assessment any advice is much appreciated via a PM
I know it costs for the assessment but with the grip that CTC has on the market some times you just have to play the game... Pretty much every airline in the UK is sewn up and geared towards cadets!

Regards

BACF Do not use lube! They don't like to make anything easy. This way you feel the pain and they know you'll be easier later on ;-)

Can anyone send me a typical roster?
And is the payscale on Pilotjobs correct? So 41,796 for FO's ans 32,810 for cadet FO's. And what's the main difference between FO and cadet FO?
Cheers!
