I think one of the problems that has set in, is the extortionate price for type ratings! It is a huge racket! Come on, 15,000 for recurrent on a medium jet???
Is there a private aircraft in the ME that doesn't throw or give away at least $15,000 worth of catering in a week?

If I'm going to spend regular parts of my life in training and take it seriously, I'll take the manuals (for an aircraft I'm supposed to know) coffee, couches, and working sim thank you very much. You think those are luxuries? Jeez man, I had all those things forever ago at uni in the frat house. Believing 15 grand for recurrent is exhorbitant is the first step down the road that ends where you ask crew to share hotel rooms at expensive destinations the pax want to go to. I mean, whaddaya get anyway reaaally? A shower, bunk, and a head right?

Hotels. What a racket.
