When I'm your age, I'll be a TRI/TRE.
Hahahahaha!!, Hoooohooo. Phew, haven't had such a good laugh in ages.
Sadly for our young 'god of the skies' the CAA/training department and trainers still have a say in who gets to be a TRE/TRI and personality, professionalism and skill play a fairly big part. The amount of £££££'s from daddys APS pension scheme is, by and large, irrelevant.
It's a job, you get PAID for doing a job.
Happy trolling.
