Nooooo
That is a very BAD excuse INNER!
Every time a pilot pays for a TR... is the airlines sticking it up to all of us and in doing so the pilot sticking it up to us too.
IF now that the Companies need pilots, is a pilot market,the youngens are buying TR so they can skip straight to the airline (they are buying themselves a job) when this bubble bust, is a company market, we will see what the companies are going to pull..... Minimum wage for FO? with TR and why not you pay for everything, no per dimes... we will see. But I do not want to hear any of the "I buy myself a TR" people to complaint about it......
PM me and I get you a job, it might not the a 747 but a job!
