Sorry guys, another question if I may.
Having now started my PPL training, and really liking it, I'm considering a possible future career change (ok it's years down the line, after a lot of training etc).
However, I know it will cost approx 100k euros to get my full ATPL (You can buy a a house for that!). I've seen jobs available with private jet companies, but they often ask FOs to invest 40,000-50,000 euros of their own money just to be hired! For additional typerating training etc.
It's the only industry i know where you have to pay 50k just to get a job (That's after the 100k to get a licence)!
So, my question is.... what would be the starting salary for such a FO with a private jet company? The salaries are never mentioned on the job information pages. I'm only asking because I want to calculate whether it would be worth it. 150,000 euros in total is enough to buy a house, and it's 5 years of my current salary! But if it's a worthwhile investment, then a trip to the bank for a loan may be necessary Also, what would a (new/starting) FO get with an airline? DHL, KLM, Private, etc.
Thanks again
