I dont know about this, but what you are saying is that a guy turns up with a type rating on the aircraft will be paid the same amount as a guy who turns up without one and EI pay for it. If anything, that situation doesnt seem fair.
If anyone wants a concise statement of how far the aviation industry has fallen in as little as ten years, this is it.
We have here a perfectly valid opinion - but it is so steeped in innocence and naivety as to make one wince. "If anything, that situation doesn't seem fair". Oh yea? Does this mean that now that some pilots have been persuaded to pay for ratings ... (and ALSO work for much less pay) ... that they think that everyone should be made to suffer too! We have a pilot suggesting more pay reductions
for others because he is willing to pay for a rating and work for a low salary.
Just who is the problem here? Those who pay, or those who don't?
