AF also have the emotional intelligence to sponsor from day 1, even paying a wage, for a large number of pilots. Its not right, nor sensible to plan a buisness as a 737 flight school, expecting pilots to leave within 2-5 years, continually replacing them with cheaper and cheaper contracts.
Hence the problem they got themselves into in 2016.
so to cure that problem, hire 1000s of kids on zero hour contracts, get them to pay twice the market rate for a rating, which in effect means they pay their own wages in year 1 !
all that effort on trying to teach pilots the big picture and they fail in such catastrophic fashion when it comes to life choices!
