I realise I may have presented a P2F advert earlier and that was not my intention so just let me clarify.
The guy in Emirates who is sitting pretty now spent the majority of the previous 5 years mostly in Jakarta, and he personally told me it was a hellhole
The A320 guys all spent over a year in Turkey without any salary (another dump, sorry Turks)
1 guy spent a year in CONGO.. I'm not kidding, bloody Congo… with no salary…
If you think you can buy a zero hours rating for 20K and become a P2F god, your wrong and will end up on the scrap heap with all the others
If you think you can P2F and have circa 70K to burn after training (20K TR, 30K line training, 20K for licence fees + living costs during your year of 'work')
…. then your probably right you will one day end up flying a Jet, but you'll work for dirtbag companies in unpleasant places and will forever be known for what you are: a fool
Best of luck

shot in the foot
A few guys I know who went through CTC and got placed with Easy have got binned off with about 150 hours jet time. This seems to becoming more and more common as CTC are churning out more and more pilots each year Easy has started demanding a steeper learning curve because they can.
What are you supposed to do with 150 hours A320 experience from a reputable airline except pay to fly? No airline will take somebody with that little experience unless you quite literally pay them!

And if you don't land a job after all this money invested for nothing, you are invited to renew your type ratings every year or buy a new type rating because now you need to know how to fly on several jets.
Better to have airbus, Boeing, a couple of Lear , citation, and gulfstream... Have at least 500h on each Airplane , be 29 years max and maybe you will get the privilege to touch the landing gear switch at minimum salary.
And your last flight must be within 3 months (on type)

Suferpilot,
The answer is simple. You stop throwing money at the problem. The idea that you have to spend more money because you "spent so much already" is insane.
You gambled and you lost.
