wow, this thread amazes me! I knew people were desperate/crazy but this is just amazing. One thing all the people who pay for TR's must think about is the people on the bottome of the ladder flying TPs.
I fly a TP and have never paid for a TR. I got my first job with 235hrs and alot of persistence in a ground based job. I chose to start at the bottom and work my way up but what i didnt realise is how much of an affect a 250hr newbie is having when they pay for their own TR.
Look at it this way, I have 1000hr multi crew and now want to move onto a jet but I am one of those people who refuse to pay for a TR but all the people who are paying for TR's and working for free are killing it for the rest of us!Therefore i am now struggling to find a new step on the ladder.
Personally i'd be too ashamed to admit to paying for my TR!
