Walter D.Ned,
Made for good reading, VERY interesting stuff, certainly made me think twice about submitting a CV.
Just wish the pilot fraternity would get a backbone and say "NO" to all these airlines which are now DEMANDING you have to pay for your type rating-If there were to be some kind of pilot revolt, the airlines would be forced to pay for training as in the past...
Most of us would be happy to be bonded, which in its self is a form of paying, but all these schemes at the moment are all aimed at getting as much money out of you as poossible-Someone somewhere is getting rich on the back of it, including the training organisations!
JUST SAY NO!!!!! (Wasn't that Zammo Maguire in Grange Hill back in the 80's?)
