just thinking out loud here.. What sort of situation would Three Whites or anyone else like him be in if they did pay for their TR and found after a year or 18 months that they still had no work?? would there be currency issues and how would they/how much would it cost to keep it current for longer term considerations?? Even if they did recurrents in the sim would employers look at the date of the initial TR and decide it was done too long ago to be of value without experience in the actual aircraft??
No one would expect to pay for a TR and find a job now; but what would be the long term implications??
THanks
