Whilst noble in their intentions, I cannot help but think that in 3 yrs a person who paid at RYR or another airline is eligible to apply for Emirates, whilst their options in 3yrs will pretty much be similar to whatever it is they are doing right now. That income difference is the type rating money paid back ... has it not occurred to them??
Yep and EZY and RYR know this. I was the same went against paying for TR which I hadn’t done until COVID. Pretty much everyone I know who paid for a TR be if EZY,RYR, Blue Air plus others have earnt at least £100k more than me compared to the route I took. Some maybe pushing £500k more in the bank (or enjoyed) than me over the same time scale.
