malc4d: Hmmm how does it go . .. . . . . . To get a job you need hours, to get the hours you need a job. So please tell, how the F%^"k do you get those 2000 hours muti IR turbine without somebody hiring you ?????

With considerable difficulty dear chap. You can earn money to pay in lots of ways and of course the holy grail is for some dolt to pay you to learn as you go. That is an extremely rare circumstance. I know someone who devoted their life for nearly 10 years in another totally unrelated employment just to finance their ATPL [drove trucks across deserts]. Now at way past 40, they are very happy sitting proud with loads of twin and a good job. In fact I admire this person greatly. Far more single minded dedication than I.
What you might prefer will almost certainly never happen that is unless you have already a pretty good CV but that sounds unlikely.
I think the current position is a pretty good filter. Only those that can swim upstream fast enough manage to spawn. Keeps the gene pool viable.
