I think Wizz will bond you for the TR. I'm not sure, I allready had my TR before I joined Wizz.
I do not agree that a SSTR will ruin the industrie. It will make you independ of any company since your not bonded to them. What does ruin this industrie is people willing to buy the hours. Pilots paying 30k plus for a couple of hundred hours on type (both A320 and B737). These guys ruin the business.
My opinion: pilots should pay for training, but should get paid when they work. Upgrades within any company, is also good for the company and the company should pay for any additional training if required.
