purely financially , that's not untrue (for europe at least) but the difference is between making oneself employable and actually pay to perform a Job that the operator needs to fill (by law) . That's been said time and time again , but the main disadvantage of the pay to fly scheme is that it reduces the number of jobs available .
And doing flight instruction , GA , reg.turboprop isn't just about making it eventually to the airlines , It's about enjoying good flying (the bit between take off and landing ) while you can . In a way it's a bit sad (personnal opinion) to go straight from school to an airliner (They ARE very automated and you don't see as much at the end of the day ) . Besides money and big things , new pilots should look forward to move slowly up the ladder , learning their trade and gazing at those marvelous landscapes beneath them .
I guess I missed a meeting ...
