Dick,
I believe that we are possibly 'lost' in translation.
I would understand that 'Beak' is trying to clarify that he did not purchase a 737 TR with a Line Hours Package.
Further, he is being clear that he did not purchase a 737 TR FULL STOP.
I would understand that, he was selected for a paid / bonded 737 TR with an airline, made it on line, and then sadly was laid off. Very frustrating!
I really cannot understand this animosity to 'Beak'. Unlike the many, his credability is not in question. It would appear that the ubiquitous truth about 'the bank of Mum n Dad' gets some 'noses out of joint'. I just can't understand why?
Had the situation been different, I would have been the first to cash 'Dads' cheque! ( Sadly in my case, it would have bounced! )
