I fear my tongue in cheek comments have been misinterpreted to a degree. My attitude is actually very professional and diligent.
Worsening T&C's are to some degree a by-product of the Low Cost model and it appears that most other airlines have followed suit in some shape or form, where it is now quite rare to get into the RHS without either having payed for a TR (SSTR or Airline backed), pay for a specialist course (e.g. CTC AQC) or merely pay over the odds for an integrated course which gives you the same licence, but some recruitment assistance (e.g. OAT APP). So I take a pragmatic approach, taking into consideration the current market, my age and personal circumstances. At this point in time and for the foreseeable future, Ryanair is my best bet for a RHS job.
As has been said many times before on this forum, if we could get all wannabees to sign up to a 'we're not paying anymore' charter, great! But that's never going to happen. So each individual has to make their own choice....horses for courses.
I thank all those who have replied so far, and wish everyone well with their endeavours.
Cheers,
WTSS
