its should be asked also why are so many airlines now charging for type rating.is it because 'mummy and daddys' offspring dont have any patience.its much easier to fire 50k of someone elses cash at the problem than have to serve an apprenticeship - instruct, light twin flying etc.try working in other parts of the world,use ones intiative,do the much less glamorous part of the process that worked for so many others before (including me thankfully!)
so much credit available,so much greed,so little patience,look what it has done to the industry.
sadly the whore comparison is very accurate me thinks
