MJB not defending VB at all, but I wouldn’t put it in the same boat as Jet*. As I said before at least VB pay their guys 15Kpa in recognition of paying for their training in addition a base at least 20K pa more then the monkeys at Jet*. Overall they pay at VB is still crap, but comparing it to Jet*'s conditions and 100 hours plus a month is a bit rich.

Just to clarify I think forcing people to buy a rating is a disgraceful practiced and should be illegal. Where does it stop, why not force bus drivers to pay for their training? After all considering the 100K plus and years of lost income becoming an airline pilot it would seem they now earn more. I really think the government should make the practice of employers forcing new employees to pay for training cost outlawed.
