Well we agree wholeheartedly on that but I find it difficult to see the future as upbeat. This industry got on a slippery slope a decade ago and it shows no signs of letting up.
Incidently I recall an old employer who tried to bond me for a rating I already had! Took a while to get them to see sense but I still paid for it in the end!

So with the likes of RYR about you can see yourself spending 50-60k on a licence, 20k on a type, line training pennies, etc. only to find yourself on a hugely reduced income after a year because of the way YOU did it? With lost income etc. that is about 100k spent to earn a minimalistic wage at the end working for a bast@rd company. Why Why Why are flying schools still in business?
