The greed really set in at Vietjet. There are a group of internal workers in the training department and their "friends" who act as intermediaries (basically "agents" in a way) who are getting quite wealthy off this P2F program.
Even the CAAV (the government aviation ministry) is getting their fingers in on the action with the money they want from foreign pilots to get their school "approved". It's a cute way of essentially strong arming $20,000 out of wannabee cadet pilots.
What amazes me is that the owner of VJ allows this to go on.
She doesn't personally profit much off it, and yet she's basically allowing institutionalized corruption to occur in her organization.
Maybe it's different in Vietnam, but corruption is generally considered to be a bad thing because it exposes your company to liabilities and risk, not to mention it just makes you look bad.
