Where in my post exactly did I have a go at the pilots?? Are you still pished?! You are now bringing paying for a type rating into the discussion when that is an altogether different matter. In this context the point concerned bonding an already type rated pilot. I'm just making an observation here - in what other job markets would a qualified applicant be bonded heavily (financially) should he/she accept a job offer?
Back to the whine, hick!
