Don't paying for type ratings. You're f*cking up the industry, ya da ya da ya da.....Who's to blame for this mess???
It's you foolish fully fledged pilots yourself and not the cadets!
Think about it, the cadet, being as uninitiated as a space bound rat is destined to get abused along the way to him achieving his/her dream. You smart arsed Captains and Senior FO's clap-trap on about how cadets should'nt be paying for this and that but you seldom realise
only your actions and threats can do anything about it. Since YOU are the on-line workforce, the unions work for YOU.
Let me give you an example of how this abuse is controlled within the railway industry. There's no shortage of people wanting to train as train drivers either. It costs well over £30k to train an intercity high speed train driver, but you don't see firms offering train type ratings and line training joy rides with the promise of some kind job offer. Why? because the industry is regulated and the unions, upon learning about any such notion, would cripple this country.
Home come BALPA and it's members havn't got the same balls?
