The begining of the end of self sponsored types?
Well it looks as though MOL and the gang at Ryan are willing to cough up the cake for a rating on the NG. This appears only to be for skippers but how long can this last? Are high time FO's next? 5 year bond? That is a good one.......
If people (Capt/FO) stopped applying and paying at Ryan (and others for that matter) then all ratings would be FREE. Nice to see that even the folks that invented 'Buy a Job' are feeling the pinch!
