So, in response because my parents or whoever are wealthy enough or are prepared to make a financial commitment for their child to (i know parents who have re-mortgaged) help them gain employment they should not do it because some people percieve paying for a type rating as wrong?
I would have to say you have to be far more selfish in life than sticking to the moral high ground all the time. It is a contentious subject, but dont forget most airlines have some sort of arrangement regarding type rating training/who pays for it. Whichever way you look at it, the bond, bond-reduced salary/paying it yourself, they all have disadvantages. (i think the worst of all is the bond to be honest)
M80 - it is unfair to say people who pay have no idea of financial matters.
Do u have a job?
Why are you so bothered by something you have said you will not get involved with?
