Lord Spandex and others,
Tell me who's the idiot (morals and ethics aside) -
the person who after getting his frozen ATPL never spends a penny on a type rating or any P2F scheme and waits for things to improve but with no idea of when, how or if this will happen. Of course his conscience will be clear, although that will be of limited use!
OR
the person who after getting his frozen ATPL does whatever he has to do to survive/succeed and get ahead of the competition.
The answer is not as clear cut as some people make out and just because some people don't do what you would, doesn't make them idiots! I'll say again I do not like P2F but in the current climate I completely understand why some pilots choose it.
One thing I have learned in my decade or so of training, instructing and commercial flying is NEVER rely on fellow pilots to do right by you. They are the biggest bunch of hypocrites and bull**** talkers I have ever seen! This I have learned through hard experience!
No one is living your life except you and it isn't a dress rehearsal!
