At no point did I mention quickie ratings, only that paying for your type rating is not good practice and is an insidious weakening of the terms and conditions pilots work under in SA. If the need for a potential crewmember to pay for a rating were removed, selection would be based on the best man for the job, rather than the person willing to fork out the cash, whether Daddy is paying or not.
I stand by my comments that the practice is not good for the industry...
