I've no problem with Shaun expressing an opinion, but his reply suggests that he is not open to any other opinion but his own
I am not too keen on guys paying for type ratings either, but Ryanair is there, they've changed things ( and not for the better ) and if that's what it takes to get a job these days, good luck to them. Remember, in years gone bye, it was frowned upon for pilots to pay to obtain a CPL!
We've got to move with the times..... but our day will come ( i hope )
