It is obvious that no-TRSS would be better than TRSS.
However, to further illustrate another obvious point, it should also be obvious that TRSS salary versus a turboprop salary which nets you THOUSANDS of pounds a year LESS, is much better.
Yes there are other jet jobs out there, but not all appeal to everyone. And even if they do appeal, you still have to apply, get noticed, then get interviewed etc. before you get an offer. So for some people TRSS will always look better than what they currently have. Sure, you could sit through the charter recruitment 'season' to see if you get anything, and if you don't, wait another year ad infinitum, or you could bite the relatively sweet-tasting TRSS pill and dramatically boost your income.
TRSS: Either you sign up to it or you don't. Whichever you do, I don't understand the cause for complaint. There's no point in signing up to it and then whinging, and there's no point in whinging about it if you would rather sit on the fence and wait for a better job.
To those who dislike people who sign up to the TRSS scheme, think of it this way: At least those 'muppets' who sign up to it are off the job market and not competing for your Thomsonfly/BA or whatever position.
