Meeb you are quite wrong. At no stage have I suggested that "pay for type ratings is the only way forward for the industry". In fact, on several occasions I have spoken out against the idea. However, SSTRs exist, and are a perfectly legitimate offering, and we at Pprune have a duty to see that they are discussed without resort to the kind of emotional language you adopt.
As for your insinuation that somehow I am involved in some sort of SSTR scam and stand to benefit from people taking up SSTRs with any organisation, I suggest you retract it sharpish.
