Indeed it does not but it's easy enough to work out if a TR course preceded a job start date. The rest comes out in interview.

Whereas the proponents of SSTR's are speaking for themselves and the people who
don't agree with them?

Someone made up a
list of pilots who agree with SSTR? Where is it?
There are also many experienced pilots, several of whom have posted here, who say you should
not pay for a type rating.

I had to read this section half a dozen times to get it to make sense but I'm there now. I think you're referring to another thread, yes? What does it have to do with
this one? Nobody here has asked for advice on a TR, nobody has given such advice so why bring it up here?

You're entitled to your opinion and if you want to roll over then do so. It is my opinion (and others, those people I've managed to find that agree with me) that it is worth trying to retain decent T&C's. You're a couple of years from retirement, some of us will be working in this industry long after you're gone and I'm damned if I'm going to roll over as well.

A long way if people keep paying to reduce our lot.
Seeing as you asked the question your spelling is fine. Your punctuation however is spasmodic, woefully inaccurate and way below par which made sections of your post almost impossible to understand. Before you get angry about that too remember, you asked for my opinion. Mate.
