Im not trying to justify anything, just stating the way it is. It is already screwed up!!!!!!!That happened years ago, when the market was not booming the way it is today, when pilots had to pay for conversions!unfortunately that trend remains, you'll never be able to go back on that!!! I am not willing to get left behind purely to prove a point, The industry is not going to carry on the way it is at the moment for ever, everything works in cycles, its going to calm down, That I have no doubt, every pilots aim should be to get as far in the industry as possible, before that happens.
