Tried to read a little about this and i do get the idea that there is two ways to look at this "oportunity"
1. You pay a certain amount of money and work for free in order to get your TR and some 500 or so hours on your choise of aircraft.
2. You pay a certain amount of money to get your TR and some 500 or so hours on your choise of aircraft. Just like any other kind of training or timebuilding package.
Depending on what "hat" you wear, meaning how you look at it. It will either be a bad choise or a good one.
