I don't dispute that, my point is that it's not quite as amazing a deal as P06T suggested and you
are still paying for it, even though you also get what should be normal employment terms (but thanks to Ryanair etc are seen as perks).
Also, RAT 5 the deduction is for non TR people as well. I'm far from being an apprentice but I'm not airbus type rated so would earn a 'cadet' salary.
