I've just copied my reply to a thread about line training which gives my opinion in a brief manner, which is most unlike me:
Personally, I'd happily avoid giving someone a name, and preaching. I would then go on the inform said person of the existence of those other threads, and hence they would realise why people won't give them a name.
Paying for line training is taking a job from someone. And those who undergo these programs thinking 150 hours will help at a time when there are thousands of people out of a job are not only misled, but foolish.
The rot in this industry is driven by the realisation that people are willing to pay for what would otherwise be someone's living. That management boards have realised not only that they can abuse pilots, but can actually make some people pay for the 'privilege' of flying commercially, is disastrous for those of us who want a career in this industry. Commercially, by which I mean FLYING FOR A LIVING.
