My salary was the same as those of people who joined with a type rating so actually I've not paid.
Lucky you, I think you'll find that most operators will pay their cadets a cadet salary, and in most cases you will avoid this by holding the TR. Even in todays market their are few operators trying to get you to pay for your second TR, so your argument holds less water.
My point is that as a CADET, and we are in the wannabes forum here, you will pay either way. SSTR = pay up front but get a higher salary. Bond = pay nothing, or monthly depending on how you look at it and get a lower salary.
It all falls down when people get the TR without the job offer.
Oh and ports,
so ineffect is there any difference between someone hiring a twin to build hours to get air taxi work and someone paying for hours on a 737.
Just pointing out that there was.
