What has become known as p2f (pay-to-fly) is simply a misnomer. It should be p4tr (pay-for-type-rating) as that is a much more accurate description of what is happening.
In my honest opinion, the old Sleazy TRSS used to be a p4tr scheme: you paid for the type but got a JOB in the end. P2F is simply paying for a type and a number of hours on type, period! No job, no salary but instead a firm boot under your @ss to make room for the next sucker when your time (literally!) is up!

I'm, just like capt playstation, completely flabbergasted by your somewhat vague reply (waffling about p2f vs p4tr) and it almost reads like your defending these scams by simply raising the selection criteria.

Norm, are you seriously telling us that these EZY cadets are offered a probationary contract after finishing their type rating and a full time contract (with EZY, not some contract agency!) when they finish line training, just like in the old days of TRSS?
