It always amuses me when this debate arises. Haven't yet seen any positive action being spoken about to arrest the so called "injustices" in the industry of pilots paying for their training or type ratings. Guess it is easy to vent steam on a bulletin board but too hard to pull finger and change the way the industry is heading in real life. So if all those easyjet, flybe or ryanair (et al)pilots out there really care then what about positive strike action. In fact BA pilots should go on strike too and call for reinstatement of the full sponsorship scheme.
Oh, but hold on the airlines might go out of business from lack of cash due to the flight cancellations. Oh well nice idea in theory. Back to the drawing board!
