You’re not paying for the line sectors. You’re getting a salary. You are absolutely paying for the type rating though. Base training isn’t cheap! Does the training provider make a bit of cash? Yes. When you’re a captain making over 100K a year in five years, do you honestly give a monkeys the % profit margin from your type rating? Of course you don’t, don’t be silly.
Of course, I'm just finding it funny that 10 years ago I'd be crucified by even mentioning the P2F schemes all around, but now people are just accepting it as business as usual.

And VariablePitchP, you're not getting paid, they're just giving you back the money you gave them initially... That's fine by me still Hell, I'd fly without any payment for those first few hours as long as I'd get free housing and food.
