Plenty of good threads on SSTR on pprune...
Waste of time without a positive job offer is what i've seen over the last 4-5 years.
Even with RYR you can still pay and be thrown out of line training. IMO no one will give you a job with TR and 100 hr line training, or 200 hr's, 300hr's, how far are you prepared to go? How much are you prepared to pay?
So many jobs out there on smaller a/c doing very worthwhile jobs, air taxi, parachute dropping, glider towing etc.
Such an overdone discussion. TBH IMO until you are qualified and applying to the airlines you do not have a proper understanding of the full situation of trying to gain your first job.
I didn't pay for my TR or first job and i'm not anything special, just applied myself to the task in hand, wasn't snobby about the a/c and didn't act niave.
Either way best luck to all of you
