No one is going to self fund a rating on something like this and those who flew it in the past have probably moved on to bigger and better things by now. Experienced and current Pilots should be able to command a premium based on supply and demand.
Ahh you talk logic and reality not in the thinking of those now in charge of PX. Toofar , the blue lagoon and others of thier ilk have different agendas certainly not the success and sustainability of the national carrier.
