    The Air Corps are the army. They are just a Corps, like other armies have armoured corps or medical corps etc.

    I don't think so. Is it not a defence force, not an army.
    The Irish Defence Forces
    The Defence Forces consist of the Permanent Defence Force (PDF) and the Reserve Defence Force (RDF).

    The PDF includes the Army, Naval Service and Air Corps.

    The Reserve Defence Force comprises the Army Reserve and the Naval Service Reserve....

    Consider me corrected. I'd forgotten the level of separation.

    I wasn't sure did some of it come under the army directly.

    How come a pilots license is so expensive? :confused:

    I have never heard about what a pilot takes home each week. So knowing the cost of training, these guys must be on mental money.

    About 28-35k believe it or not !

    More of a vocation than a career.

    AH was very different in 2006. Everyone on page 1 was helpful and kind.

    There were no witty jokes either.

    There was lots of joking back then, even if not on this thread, but people could also be helpful too on a more serious thread. :)

    A mate of mine got his private license here but had to move away to get his commercial training. Spent his time in the US and South Africa. He worked on a massive farm crop dusting to build up his air time. Tough going but possible to do it a lot cheaper then here.

    Fly's for Ryan Air these days.
