Paying for Type Ratings is one thing, but paying for hours on type is just plane wrong (pun intended). If you are flying as an FO on a revenue flight with a payload in the back then you are simply doing another pilot out of a paid position. I know it 'makes sense' in terms of a business investment due to the potential return, but i still don't agree. In a business sense, as a business owner, i think it would be more lucrative to sell airline hour building packages to people!
It seems like aviation will soon be full of people who are in their jobs due to how much of their own, or their parent's, money they are willing to throw about to get a job. And no, i'm not bitter, i'll get there on the basis of my ability and yes i could buy a job if i wanted to. It's down to old fashioned things called integrity and conviction.
Rant over :-)
