Good point. But the market does what the market does. As long as there are people willing to buy there will always be people willing to pay. Like I said - I'll try to do this the 'free' way first, but if the offer to pay comes along I'm not the one to turn it down for some stupid principle. Too many people do stuff out of pure principle and 'boy I'm gonna show them' attitude. It doesn't work when they're the one controlling your future - at best you save it from not comming back and biting you in the a**. Aparently pilots need jobs more then airlines need pilots - or this 'pay-for-type' phenomena wouldn't exist.
alternatively you can join the unemployment line with your principles and see how cheap it is to kick dirt for a year waiting for an interview. Just a thought...
