I have one fundamental problem with your post Vito. Irrespective of whether the principle of future employees paying their own expenses is right or wrong, YOU KNEW THE DEAL BEFORE YOU ATTENDED.
If you had an ethical problem with paying your own travel and accomodation you should not have attended the selections. That would have been the time to make a stand.
So I have spent 350 ish pounds to find that out!
This would also have been the case if you had been successful. The principle would have been exactly the same. Your reaction, however, would have been somewhat different I believe? They would have been your new best friends. But because they rejected you they are "C###S." Slightly warped logic.
Incidentally, what do you know about the "airline industry" as a whole? You've attended a selection with ONE company. Some companies will pay your expenses, some won't. The ones that will are not necessarily the ones you would expect.
I or any of my fiends and family will NEVER travel with your airline in the future
Grow up.
PS And good luck to you Sir
