As I'm sure you are all aware, after 18 months off-type, it'll back to the bottom of the ladder again. The only people who will be happy are those offering "referesher training" at grosely inflated prices. Last month now of trying, then will be getting my arse into another industry if nothing changes. 26 years experience down the drain, but does the CAA or industry give a damn, they are all out to save a few bucks and hire the trainee on half wages.
