Hi Tailscrape,
can't quite figure if your reply was aimed directly at me, or as a group. Seems the debate has been put to rest, so I will be brief. Having came through the CTC scheme in 96, I suppose I paid for my rating, and in my mind joined an excellent company in Monarch. The 757 rating led to a job on 744 then 777 all in my mind with good companies So lets just disagree politely on this one, rgds.
