stealing the resources produced/collected
I am only acquainted with 2 RYR Pilots; both young, and both funded 100% by parents.

These parents very willingly supported the TR Training hence my inability to use the term 'parasite'. These aviation savvy fathers viewed RYR as the only way to progress their childs career within the 'shelf life' of a frozen ATPL.

Nothing was stolen. It was a calculated act of support. To wit; a knowledge based decision.

But; the ubiquitous factor is the 'Old Money' / Bank of Mum and Dad that funds this fast track career move. The concept of 'Speedy Boarding' being applied to wannabe pilots.

However mercinary, I am really glad that the RYR fixation continues and the wannabe army has been unable to move laterally into other area's of aviation.
