P2f doesnt mean your not qualified at all to fly that aircraft!! You still have to pass the skills test with an TRE. If you jumped that and went straight into the jet then you may have a point.
All p2f has done is jumped the interview process, yes in affect it will not show if your mentally capable of handling the plane in a commercial environment but this is not always the case though. One of the things I have learnt flying the 737 in the sim compared to flying it on the line is that its a different environment and anything can happen.
How does someone paying for line training mean that they are a complete idiot at flying planes? Seriously, when that same person has done the same exams as you and every other newbie pilot out there! All that person has done is help drive the Tc's down thats it.
The p2f guys still have to be safety pilot released, they still need to be line checked (by the same training captains that would check a non p2f pilot) and they also need to learn the same company SOP's so anyone saying that there a safety risk really needs to do there homework about what actually goes on.
Its quick enough to judge these people but why dont you see it from the otherside of the fence. Do you honestly think these newbies want to pay a further £36k for a TR and line training? I dont think so!
The aviation industry is corrupt, its all about money thats it! No one cares about morals or right and wrong..look at MOL and his crazy ideas.
