What an amazing thread.
Some turkeys will vote for Christmas after all.
I saw this coming 7 years ago, and it still amazes me that there are people dumb enough to swallow the bolloxolgy about
having to pay for a type rating.
There are obviously free type ratings out there - however none of the chumps who are coughing up 33k (amazing - just amazing!) for a 737 type rating can see it.
The management are getting the free type ratings - in fact they are getting an even better deal! Not only do they get to laugh at you, they make a profit on you as well. Sadly none of those having hysterics about it can see this
7 years ago I lobbied BALPA to nip this crap in the bud before the cancer spread throughout the industry, but as usual BALPA didn't see it happening at BA so all was well. IPA went one better and asked members to write in a tell them where the best SSTR was.
Pilots can be their own worst enemies at times.
