It seems to me that most Airlines either bond you or reduce your salary for a period if they fund TR so whats the difference in paying for it yourself upfront?
The difference is that paying for a TR on your own could leave you with even more debt and still no guarantee of a job. Yes an airline will most likely bond you or pay you a lesser salary to recoup the cost but at least you are doing a TR with a job waiting for you at the end. It's a high risk strategy to pay for a TR without an airline behind you. It might pay off, but then again........
Personally I think you're nuts, and many other people will agree with me, but I'm sure you don't care what I think!
Good luck, hope it works out for you
