Those VS line trainers must do well! 25%? I think in most airlines the figure for a line training Captain ( which is what we are talking about....line training) get around a 10% emolument.
Full TRI/TRE Sim trainers with a base training ticket may earn around 25% extra. Except in www's place of employ according to their website..........
Anyhow, to suggest that it costs more for an airline to hold a TRTO than to let pilots fly "unpaid" is nonsense.
Every charter airline has thin profit margins. Astraeus exploit this in my view, by letting the individual take the burden. Just like cheap pensions. A load of boll0cks!
