buying a TR is mandatory here in europe, there is not a chanse to get a job without bonding or paying for your rating on any machine!
What an absolute load of cr@p!!
That is probably the fastest self-fulfilling prophecy EVER!!!
How hard did you try before paying?
I am flying jet, rating paid by company, I still fly GA and I get paid for both... Whats the problem?
I took the time to investigate the market, make a decent CV and most important; made some contacts.
I am most satisfied to read the comments about banning the fly-for-free brigade. I strongly encourage anybody in any relevant position to support it.
You know what will happen when these spineless egocentric amateurs join our ranks - T&C going south, they have already established that they are willing to get shafted, why offer decent wages to anybody then.
