My concern is not with Pprune, as they rightly accept the money.
My concern is with the airlines and with the pilots. I now see most airlines "needing" the money, and most young pilots "needing" the P2F to move forward. This is my concern and how we stop it.
This seems to be part of a general cultural change in our societies. The 40 something managers "Bonus Culture", and the young pilots impatience to grow up and "Fast Track" their career.
Advertising will stop, only when either the airlines, or the customers stop "needing" the services of the TRTOs.
What we do as a pilot community is what matters...
