I think it’s worth mentioning, that 1,5 year ago Ryanair (not sure if everywhere but Buzz for sure) was not only taking cadets with 5k upfront fee and bond for tr but also offering 20k€ (sic!) to rated officers with just as few as a couple hundred hours on type for joining the line. It’s all about offering and demand, it always was and always will. That’s how capitalism work. I also would never pay 30k€ for a tr without job guarantee (in normal times) despite the fact I am rated on 737 but currently on unpaid leave... it’s just a matter of time, and a job is still a job, line flying is about merging passion with earning for a living. If supposed to pay for the flying I would rather stick to ga.
