Tony, I don't disagreee with your sentiments, but the sad thing is that how benevolent John has been in the past has no bearing in today's market.
John, correct me if I'm wrong, but with a queue of wannabes ready to pay for a type rating, with the best will in the world you won't be inviting anyone along for a session as described by Tony above .
I remember the first PPRuNe seminar, when John stood at the front and said quite categorically never to pay for a type rating. I respected his opinion and I haven't nor will I. But sadly for me (and others) there are people who will.
The avaition world is all the more sad for it, imho.
