you just forget one thing: very often low hour pilots really do not have any other option to get more experience!

for example, here I am with 250 hours, CPL, IR, ME

I canNOT get a jaa instructor rating under 400 hours tt

I canNOT get a job as an instuctor even if I do have 400 tt where I live...

but i CAN go for a type rating and line training

paying for line training is not all that expensive anyways: 500 hours for about 25-30000 euros.. flying 500 hours with even a Cessna 150 costs more.. and takes a hell of a long time (maybe years)

do you really call me immoral just because I have this dream and now an opportunity to get it? do you really expect me to fly with a Cessna and even pay more for it instead of getting a real type rating and real IFR experience?

Please understand that I really do not have any other chance to become a real pilot!
