So what are your thoughts on the pilots who have had their start by learning to fly daddy's machine (or with daddy's money) and then straight into a job?
Is that really different to using a loan to pursue an avaition career? At least the loan guys are paying it off and not letting dad say "don't worry son you can buy me a beer!"
How you you say that only the guys that have paid their way have work ethic? I have met some right D***HEADS that have been through the loan scheme, but I have also met loads of pilots have paid their way, or given the money from the parents that also fit the D***HEAD bill.
Work ethic, and therefore someone I would hire comes from how they present themselves and work as students, making that extra bit of effort to show their keen. Regardless of how they pay for the licence.
The pilots I know have come through that sceme have made professional, hard working pilots.
