It is however Fun; I would understand that you are a professional pilot ie flying for reward, do you not enjoy flying for flying sake? salarly needs asside.
Kudos to you, sir. Agree with what you said. It makes no sense being a professional pilot if you lose the passion to fly! However, there is still the other side of the argument that it's kinda ridiculous for airlines to charge for TR and line. If someone has a CPL and all the other quals and he paid for it himself, fine. But it doesn't make sense for him to still have to pay for TR and line. It isnt a large sum for the airline anyway as compared to sponsoring a CPL and I don't get why the airline doesn't just sponsor the TR. Its kinda pointless to squeeze out these relatively small amounts out of applicants when they can so obviously earn hundreds of times by hiring this guy.
