Flintstone grow up
I agree totally with MikeHotel. Flintstone you are not the only one who gets all the trimmings and benefits in this industry so get off your high horse. No one said you missed out on anything. I get every benefit you get it doesnt mean I have to spell it all out braggingly to cadets who are trying to get the money together for this godforesaken FR type rating.
Yes its not the greatest deal in the world but if these guys pass the line and keep their heads down they will be earning 3 to 5k a month and gaining vauable experience. Better that sitting at home renewing their instrument ratings.
If you or I were cadets now do you think we would get a gig with all the benefits you mentioned? Chances are very slim and you know it.
