Beech Driver,
At least prostitutes get paid for what they do.
Without getting moral about things, I suggest that the ones buying hours on type (..and thus put someone else out of paid work) are to be compared with the ones buying sex from the prostitutes.
If nobody paid for the service, nobody would be handing it out.
When all that is said and done, I do understand those that have been fed up waiting in a non-existant line, for a job that might never materialize.
Unless you have those precious 300-500 hrs on type,....you could be standing in line forever.
It's a cut-throat world out there, and good things come to those who go out there and make it happen! Not to the ones waiting for it to happen!
