TR
TOM24
Your post is assuming:
1. Everyone has the money to pay for a TR
2. That pilots who are in debt to a large amount CAN take the financial hit, especially if they have mortgages and families.
3. Someone ACTUALLY wants to hire you.
Ideas are alot easier said than done.
An FI rating is generally 1/4 of the price of a TR and keeps people flying. I agree a C152 is not the best aircraft in the world to prepare you for a RHS on a A320.
Please remeber that alot of the frustrations are born out of the the fact that if we could pay for a TR, honestly, we probably would.
Some cynics say that if you want it bad enough you have to take the steps to get a job. These are probably the same individuals who have had everything paid for by someone else. Thats not a bitter view, just an observation of the plethora of varied characters in aviation.
It woukld be great if there is a shortage of pilots in the near future. Then, the posts would be entitled "the cheeky ba@tards at x airline had the front to ask me for some money".
