Wizofoz,
a "privat" aircraft? Is that something to do with the mile high club then?

P2F - Utterly odious and contemptuous as it is, has been allowed to become the norm. As a newly minted fATPL (well, minted 15 months ago, with still no sniff of a job) you can however see the attraction, as frankly there's less and less chance of a job the "normal" route, even when the economy has properly sorted itself out. The airlines are wolves and they have scented blood.

One point however, that I think is often overlooked in the blind fury of the mob baying at P2F....I don't think there are many (any?) P2F schemes where you can LITERALLY P2F. All of the ones I've seen include a fair degree of aptitude testing....alright I'm sure the aptitude levels are given some flex, but I don't believe it's the case that's repeated ad nauseam "have you got the money? Well WELCOME TO THE RHS!" for the most part...
