You can't help but see a certain sense in what the airlines are doing by passing the so called "training risk" back to the wannabee pilot. I often wonder whether the big dissenters here on pprune are those that either don't have the money, are trying to get off turbo props with thousands of hours or were priviledged enough to get all of their training paid for courtesy of HM/the taxpayer (ie: me). Anyway I am keeping an open mind for when the time comes that is for sure. I am not going to be one of those being left behind.
