Really?? Not sure what your idea of minimum pay is but if I am on minimum pay then I am set up for life!!

How on earth did you work that one out?? I joined my company pension scheme shortly after I started.

As I said ...I am not going to argue. There are an ever reducing number of GA jobs and more and more jet jobs available to newbies. I agree with the principal of what you say as paying for a TR when you have already spent thousands obtaining a licence is absurd and it's exploitation. But the industry has changed and it won't change back because every wanabee "grows a spine" and takes your route. This is reality, it's fact. Blaming people for taking opportunity that is best for them is misguided. Everyone's circumstance is different.

I wish you good luck with your career.
