BUT AS YOU ARE PROBABLY NOT A VERY GOOD PILOT (which is why you paid for a TR)
I've been lurking on this forum for enough time now to know that it is mainly frequented by 3 type of people,
  • The old guard, wanting T & C's like the good old days
  • Peeved off wannabes
  • Spotters
And I have been around this industry long enough to realize that 50% (if not more) of what is spouted by most posters is total bollcks.

But that comment 'Adverse-Bump' is one of the most ridiculous generalizations I have heard for a long time. The two concepts of 'paying for a TR' and 'Being a good pilot' are in no way mutually exclusive. Many people I have met in the industry have at some point paid for a TR, will I tar them all with the same brush as being 'bad pilots'? No, because the two things are totally unrelated.

I will say we will more than likely never return to the days of sponsored TR's, accept it guys and get on with it. All you keyboard warriors, sat digging your your heels in at the first sign of change, moaning on an internet forum, shows how out of touch you all are with what is happening in the world.
