Paying for type-rating.
I know its the way of the aviation world now for most companys to get their pilots to pay for their type-ratings.
How did this all come about in the first place????
Why dont people just refuse point blank to pay???
I dont know about other pilots,but as for me,I wont be able to afford a type-rating when I finish my training.
Airlines need pilots,right??? So if pilots refuse to pay then the airline cant opperate,right???
BALPA have predicted that a pilot shortage will occur within the next couple of years so are the airlines going to ask pilots for a fee???
It really angers me the pilots who agree to pay for their type-rating as the airlines have a taste for it now and will continue to do this.
Anyone else agree??
