There is Line claims
initial training, and leave with a type rating in your pocket for a different carrier. Initial training is said to cost a cool $120,000.
Average monthly salary, what $4,000? Plus hotels, let's say another $3,000 a month? Average training from the first day of Indoc to the line check, and I'm being generous 3 months... That's $21,000. Then half the sim expense, let's say, 32 hours at 400 per hour divided by 2 which comes to $6,400. Oh uniforms... Let's say another $500.
That comes to $27,900. So where's the other $92,100 go for?
Can't factor additional pay for labour, as instructors are paid regardless of the number of students in the class.
