"The choice is clear. Every single person contemplating line training without a firm job offer must reject and forget this idea"
they won't, the temptation to fly a passenger jet is too big. They will do anything to get the job.
When you have spent so much money for your commercial training, you can not stop. We became "drug addicted".
Then, there is the problem to not to loose face.What my friends& family will say after I have spent all my money for nothing? Waiting or going on these ripp off schemes.
After type rating, line training, easyjet will soon sell blocktime on their bus. 500h or 1000h on jet will become soon a "new standard"in this industry and many schools will offer these schemes after the MCC and the type rating to stay competitive.
Aviation will become the most expensive training in the world.
In the future, we may see a drop of applicants, but there will be always enough young wanabes looking for the gig on jets airplanes.
There will be two trainingpaths, the one for flight instructor, seaplane, etc and the one for the "lines".
