They might pay for their TR's, but don't sell their soul wasting themselves on a ramp in the hopes of getting into an a/c whose weight is probable equal to that of the engine of an NG.
This has got to be one of the most insulting posts I have ever seen on this forum. (and there have been some real winners posted here in the past)

Spouting off about the weight of an A/C shows just how ignorant you are. The majority of the flying being done with those aircraft "whose weight is probable equal to that of the engine of an NG" is far more challenging than anything you have ever done in your obviously sheltered aviation career. Flying into 2000 foot unimproved runways (no pavement for you, no CFRI's for you, and quite possibly no snow removal for you) at night with limited lighting (no vasis for you, quite likely half the lights you do get are covered by the snow that hasn't been removed) and limited navaids (no ils for you) is unbelievably more challenging than any flying I have done at an airline level. Oh and just to add to the fun, there are no autopilots, autobrakes, auto throttles, FMS or EFIS to help you out.
There are numerous articles lamenting that fact that pilots today are losing their hand and feet skills. Buying a TR and starting in the RS of an NG certainly isn't helping the situation......
