So; you have secured a job then Zippy. Indeed, you have been paid to operate 4 sectors today.
How on earth are any of these FATPL's going to get into the same position as you then? Have you seen loads of job openings for unrated low hour drivers in 'Flight'?
Or perhaps you're of the opinion that they should just be left high and dry with useless licences and PA28 ratings! Maybe they should all go and become part time instructors?
There are no jobs unless you are rated and 500hrs on type so 'splashing the cash' is here to stay. Maybe then they can get up and do a 4 sector early and get paid one day too!
I don't like the 'pay to fly' schemes but accept that we were lucky compared with our friends that are looking for work with a FATPL.
