Omitting this detail gives a misleading impression and undermines the accuracy of your argument.
airlines used to pay all those type rating costs and i got paid mine not long ago, thanks to all these instagram pilot wannabes, my passion for aviation feeds me, i always wanted to be a pilot no matter what have made aviation go for the worse of each one of us. Pay to fly, pay to work, pay for everything and god knows what else.
so yes, it’s a f shame.
