This pay applies to a DEC. I am talking about First Officers who have to give an arm and a leg before joining the company. The problem with the above is that NEWBIES are willing to get a Type Rating thinking that this will get them the job, not knowing that this destroys the whole market. I joined my company with no Type Rating or MCC Course and guess what happened? They paid for both

NOW, if everyone went to my company and said I have the Type Rating, I have the MCC course done ... They would make it a Pre-Req before applying! Thank god this hasn't happened, but Im sure it will at some point.
