Shot Over, I read your post and I do agree with you in one sense that the training just to get a CPL or frozen ATPL is rediculous. However I along with most pilots on here have a big heart and deep passion and truely can't imagine anything else to do.
What gets me going is the people who paid for the TR. I guess for me its annoying to think thoes people wanted a job badly enough not to go another way. FI's or GA pilots make small change but the experienced learned is second to none.
If most pilots said go shove it FR, FR would have to bump up its T&C's. That won't happen because most pilots are so desperate for the first job that Ryanair is the most desperate option. And then they get screwed come on here and complain.
