Let everyone fund and complete their own basic training then use a professional third party selection company such as CTC run your selection and type rating with the burden of risk resting initially on the candidate.
That will be the clanking sound of the ladder being pulled up behind you then?

Just remind us again how much you paid for your selection and type rating again www, was it nothing? I am sure with your suggestion then, you won't be fazed when you have to take the burden of risk when you decide it is time to move onto the 777 or even have to pay for your own command course at your current employer.

If you were still on this side of the traing wall I can imagine what your reaction would be to the current situation, and I am pretty certain you would not be advocating that the burden of risk be with the candidate.

I have said it before and I'll say it again, the only pilots who seem comfortable advocating paying for type ratings are those who have never had to pay for theirs.
