By getting an FATPL, you pay €X,000's to get into a position to MAYBE be eligible for a job. If there was a reputable operator offering a guaranteed job on successful completion of a type rating, why (assuming you could afford it) not go the extra mile to land a job?
I don't see how paying money to not be eligible for jobs is not prostitution, while paying more to gain eligability is...
I'm not saying I agree with the practice, but surely its better to be gaining experience and getting paid instead of serving burgers.
