As a matter of principle its a great stand. I refused to pay for a rating when I should have got on with it and am still flying a Saab
. Low time FOs on the Saab moved on and are now Jet Captains earning good money (In Europe), and the rating is long paid for. As an economic decision consider getting on a jet and seniority for Command, not much money in Props and most major Airlines only count Jet time
. You cannot change the world and many of the 'do not pay for a type rating brigade' have motives, like reducing the competition. Bottom line i say-Stubborn and Stupid- like me
