Flex
The point, that you don't care about is this:
1) you advocate paying for a rating, to get your career where it needs to be, whilst simultaneously bemoaning the terms and conditions of that very job being currently degraded, and;
2) the irony being that your terms and conditions are being eroded because yet more pilots are willing to undermine you by paying for a rating and accepting the fact that the package keeps getting worse. All in order to get the "lucky break".
If you can't see that on one hand you're shouting loudly about the evils of your employer lowering your package, whilst on the other hand praising the system that allows them to do so.........
........but as you've already said, you don't care.
Good luck in your upcoming change of job.
