Sir Donald
This is not a deliberate attack at anyone.
and
this ‘’Ashtrays are us’’ type scam
are incompatible. Your second statement is a very deliberate attack on Astraeus, and it's TRTO Bond Aviation Solutions.
95% of the students who have undertaken a type conversion are now in fully paid, non-bonded, jet-transport employment. So, the industry people "in the know", seem to have recognised the value of this " scam" as you put it and recruited people into jobs on the basis of it.
I do not want to participate in this ongoing "Pay for type ratings or not" debate. But I must ask you to withdraw your "scam" comment.
