renewal ripoff
You seem to be missing the point. I have no problem with doing the test, indeed this is probably the tenth one I have done and it is the cost that I think is above what it should be. I frequently spend a lot of time lecturing, flying and debriefing my students as this is how I earn my living, rest assured like most of you out there I do not get paid very well and £390 which is the cost of aircraft hire plus test fee is excessive. Don't forget the £240 a year in medicals. There cant be many professions that have to pay up in order to remain in employment. P.S. I have not yet attended a seminar.
