Perspective.

There are guys out of Oxford etc who thought that getting their waterwings and floating in the BA, bmi, easy holding pool was a better deal than forking out for a 737 TR with Ryanair.

Unfortunately, someone pulled the plug out of the holding pools and the FR courses are full up with the mates of said cadets who shelled out for a TR.

Now like it or lump, but this is the reality: the cadets at FR are now being paid from when the safety pilot was released on their line training.

In 4, maybe 5 years they will have the hours for command: the holding guys waiting for BA et al are now at least 2 years behind them which means that after 14 years in the RHS they will NEVER catch up in terms of earning power.

Harsh, but that's the way of things.
