I unfortunately agree with Slims last sentiments , to the airlines there is only one bottom line and CTC appear to satisfy that.
How long though before OATS/Jerez etc start a course from ab-initio which will then include a type rating at the end of it ??- the ME/IR and MCC is becoming just a "starter for ten"?? - i can see this happening in this crazy industry if it hasn't happened already..
