recurrent
This is to the fellow pilots that think it is our fault that we pay for, and not our right to pay for training. You have obviously not been in a situation where the job was yours if you were current. We have all, well at least the highly experienced and long time pro pilots, been with companies that paid for our type and recurrent, but anybody who says to me that I should make the company, pay, in this current economy, especially if the pilot has taken a sabbatical from aviation, is not looking at the other side of the story. It is not the companies who are the bad guys, it is the trend by those small few who get current or typed then bugger off. The contract that is presented to you as part of the type, spells it out. If you have not researched the company or the location, then perhaps more time should have been spent doing just that. Perhaps this is why the company will not pay for the initial of first recurrent, until the they are satisfied that you will do the job you were hired to do and also stick around
Remember that there are always two sides to every situation, and when your family depends on you, you can make choices, drive a truck, or get current and pursue what you know, are good at and is in your blood.
