At the risk of sounding harsh: other than the pain this causes all the employees, I think it a GOOD thing that people lose their deposits for training in cases such as this. Ours is a PROFESSION, which has been badly damaged and undermined by people on the lower rungs of the ladder who are willing to do ANYTHING to fly that 'shiny jet'. All they do is convince companies that they can exploit and undermine pilots and their careers. Once you have obtained your licences, you are to be considered a PROFESSIONAL. That means that you should be hired on MERIT, not your ability to write a check. The more cases that occur such as Jetsgo, the better it will be for the profession. If they expect you to pay for a job...the job isn't worth having..... Hopefully pilots around the world will slowly learn this lesson.
