When you run the numbers, P2F is the most exaggerated thing pilots get annoyed about. It just doesn't happen on the scale people think. WizzAir have slave contracts but it's not quite P2F. SmartLynx and Avion Express are the only companies where 10-20% of new FO recruits regularly come via this path but all are gainfully employed the next year on full salary - in any case, that's Eastern Europe for you and dare I say it, (incoming missiles!) if Brexit is done properly, not something for Brits to worry about anymore when competing for jobs at home. EasyJet had a very brief affair with the concept in 08/09 with approx 15 cadets getting through and people are still harping on about it till this day. If you think I'm wrong, give me some other examples of sizeable airlines who have practiced P2F recently (small, dodgy Cambodian operators don't count).
