Is that communication getting through?
If it's all you can spend it on, then do it, it's YOUR (tax payer's) MONEY.
So you're saying if you had two candidates sitting in front of you. Both with the same background, training and hours. One has a type rating for the aircraft your company flies and one does not, you don't think the one WITH the type rating is a better hire?
