Now that Streamline has been bought out by Emerald, has there been any word on whether or not they will continue with their policy of charging for shed ratings?

It would be nice to see them start to train pilots at their own expense like Emerald do. The other scenario of course is that Emerald will take a leaf from the Streamline book and start charging for the 748 rating.

Any comments from those in the know?

As far as I understand there will be no change for the next 6 months. It's more of a merger than a straight take over from what I can see. It seems to be the Sheds will be operated by "Streamline" and the bigger aircraft will be operated by Emerald.
I state again, "as far as I understand".
What will happen with the TRTO is as yet an unknown (to the workers).
