And back on to the subject of Type Ratings....

Then you have a bunch of quality talented guys who want to be pilots, but do not have the funds to complete the training integrated and/or are not willing to slave for a decade on subsistence wages building experience.
Well if their not willing to graft for the money then they obviously don’t want it enough. Aviation doesn’t need these sorts anyway, there are enough people who have saved/acquired funds who are 'quality' and if there were jobs available would be working. As for "rich retards" as it was so eloquently written. Most of these have shelled out on an overpriced course, which could have paid for 2 type ratings! Also anyone who has qualified for a CPL/IR is hardly a retard! Bora you seem to have a low opinion of fellow pilots especially those who qualified off their own backs. Why is this?

The quickest and least risky way into the industry for the cadet and a guaranteed quality pilot for the sponsoring airline.
The quickest least risky way (for the airlines) is for pilots to pay for their own training and type rating hence why EZY and FR, being low risk airlines, take the majority in this way. Very few new pilots to EZY are supplied by the CTC cadet scheme; most are direct entry and the CTC TR scheme.
