Yep I totally agree with Gnirren.
People keep moaning about those who take it upon themselves to buy a type rating to try and boost their chance of employment, suggesting that this should be something the airline should be paying for (in an ideal world yeah that would be great but life isn't like that), furthermore why stop at type ratings, the argument should also stand for paying for your PPL, ME, CPL/IR, LOFT, MCC & CRM why pay for any of that, if we all stop the airlines will have to start up sponsorships.
If you believe that would ever happend dream on!!!!
