Sorry - maybe I should repost to clear up my thoughts on the matter:
At least pilots are guaranteed an income once they have paid for their type rating!!! I mean, I could never see the day when some pay to fly with an airline just to build hours - so we are safe there I guess!!! Yip Yip, Fnaar Fnaar, Oh Err Missus, can you detect a touch of sarcasm and irony in my post?????
How about that - any more subtle?????
