P2F does exist in the USA .It actually started there . But it's generally limited to smaller companies , Night light cargo ops and such ,but there's also a few regional airlines using similar schemes , although a bit more hidden .(like paying your entire training 0-ATPL in a Flying school including 3-500 hours LT with their sister company as part of the 1500h total required , with a 'guaranteed' interview at the end ) .same stories really .
Regarding the comment on P2F in Morocco ('helping a 3rd world country develop ????? ' ) .How does stealing paid employment from local as well as expat aircrew and lowering the potential expected income of our Moroccan colleagues help develop ANYTHING ?
Basically it all p.......s me off , because it makes my (and YOUR) chances to get a decent job that much more difficult .
