The big picture that I see is paying back my £65K. But taking your advice I will tell my bank man that after all I dont want his extra 20K for a type rating cos really it isn't right for me to be paying for the training because the airline should be paying for it... "Mr HSBC, you have to think of the big picture you see". So I will just hang out for another job more fitting to a man of my calibre that is right, proper, fair and just to all concerned - and not quite as well paid...
Is that what I should do? What do you think the repsonse would be from Mr HSBC???
I am now getting bored of going round in circles on this front so I will agree to disagree and i will stay out of any furhter debate, but will read with interest!! - But don't expect this paying for type rating phenomenan to go away quickly.
