zondaracer - what utter BS!
How would they know it was P2F? Hours are hours, regardless of how you require them.
Who you think they will choose? If you have 1500 hours on 737 with current TR or an instructor with 1500 hours on C152/172/PA28, and no TR?
Fact is that there are experienced pilots out there, making quick money on wannabes wanting to get a job, and the airlines are loving it too!
It is a disgrace, but it is the way it is!
I heard of one company, wanting you to pay your own TR and then they bond you for 3 years for the line training, and they pay you 1000 Euro ($1400) a month for at least 18 months.
And these schemes are promoted by pilots themselves!
