Yes we all agree it is not right, however they are no better or worse than any other low houred pilot being trained by airlines in the past with low hours, only difference is that the airlines used to pay training, TR and bond them.
The only difference from paying and not paying, is that when paying you have a chance to jump the que of people/pilots who can not afford to pay for TR or line training.
(It is wrong, I agree, but their skill level is as good as anyone else - so that is not a valid argument unfortunately) When selected, trained and operative, they are as good as a pilot who would have been sponsored by the airline themselves!
