Hi Guys,
I must agree with the abolishing of making this a money man's commodity.
Having just started my CPL the prospect of what is ahead post MCC frightens me.
I feel very strongly about this paying for type rating rubish, BALPA should be and hopefully are, in talks to try and get a fairer deal for the folk who are not so plush to find another 25000k++ on top of their already £50000 spent just so they can earn a poor salary and give the likes of certain 'providers' a cash machine income.
It must be said, unless all of those who are paying for type ratings and are willing to work for lousy terms and conditions stop doing so, the companies running such schemes will consistently keep quid's in, thus the whole thing stays in a downturn and we don't ever see an improvement.
Bus drivers would not expect such a poor show guys, lets not let aviation descend any further into the mess it's in.
