I have to say getaways posts are so ridiculous they have to be a wind-up, surely.
Unfortunately, Neville nobody is quite correct though. At least in the past (who knows what will happen now).
I know a few pilots whose wealthy parents paid for them to get an endorsement and hours in an “airline” environment, and all of them went on to careers in the majors, while the rest of us scrubbers battled it out in GA.
I remember all those ads in Flying magazine offering x hundred hours in a turboprop for $40k or whatever.
The truth is some people have always been able to buy themselves a job in this industry.
Maybe that will change now?
