I agree that you can do whatever you want with your money. I could really care less I am now sitting in a career job and he is not my competition.

But the guy asked for feedback... from where I sit and what I have observed in attitudes of other drivers over the past decade along the way from 703 to 705 is it's a waste of money and will drive this profession down.

One pays, then 10, then 100 and then Westjet wants everyone to apply with a 37NG rating, Air Canada will only hire guys with 320 ratings and you've got to pay again if you want to move onto a widebody, then you need 500 on type and when Canadians don't fork out for ratings, Europeans and Asians come across and take the spots and the next generation is out of work or $30K poorer... Next thing you know airlines will charge an application fee to apply... It has to stop somewhere and it seems that Canada might be the last line...
