Paying for the hours is pure exploitation. But what if there seems to be no other option?
What if you have the TR, have 1 hour on type, but there is an opportunity for FO's with 200-300 hours on type that you like to pursue? Paying for a couple hundred hours could give you a jumpstart.
I was talking to a TRTO airline who offers 100 hours for €10K. I am considering it. €100/hour doesn't sound too bad I think... could be worse.
What are your thoughts? Up to how much per hour would you be willing to pay for experience that could get you a flying job?
