Some fair points rat. No worries. Lets not let this thread turn into another dead end debate though.
I'm still in GA. I would like to work for the Virgin Group. I'm not paying for an endorsement with the way the current industry is, although I could afford to if I wanted. I feel there is very little competition for me and other pilots to secure a jet job somewhere in the next 2-3 years, and I am happy to go overseas if required.
Some pilots will use the 'opportunity' to pay as an advantge to get in before me. Personally I think that's just silly. But everyone has their own reasons, morales and principles which they live their life by.
Tick the no box.
