FR only gets away with the fifty quids fee
IF applicants are willing to give their CC number which make them the true culprits therefore the ones to get the blame.
Personally I didn't bother and never will.
especially when recruiting Professionals which we all are !!!
Jet A1, like me you think of yourself as a professional and expect to be recognised as such, quite rightly so. I don't fly 73s but what I do, I do it meticulously and with dedication, hence why I do not expect to be charged for the right to offer that level of professionalism.
Only down to the individual mind you.
Fire at will
