Beak, you completely missed the point I was making. My point was - if trainees got type ratings for nothing, where else could that happen?
I was arguing Day Dreamer's point that it would be better off to train at FTE or OAA in the future - THEY have their own simulators, THEY have their own instructors etc. etc. (the points you made), but they aren't giving their trainees type ratings for free are they?
I'm not saying CTC are rolling in hills of money, or that they're remotely perfect. I just wanted to make the point that it's silly to say they are doing worse off than other FTOs without any evidence.
