Be amazed some more then, although it's impossible to make such a comparison because, er, they got theirs free too. I suppose we could look toward pilots who joined the company
with type ratings but they get paid the same also.

Lucky? Well if you call standing by my principles and turning down jobs that wanted me to buy my way in then I suppose I am. Don't think the dictionary would define that as 'luck' though.

Ummmmm, no. I won't. Given the propensity for a large number of newly qualified pilots to back door their colleagues I'm extremely picky about who I recommend for interview. All of those I have recommended though know there's no such word as 'alot'
