"The market to date is one where a person who has the most money can buy themselves the RHS of an airliner, just look at eaglejet."


Looking at eaglejet, what's your issue with them? If people can afford the route that they offer, why not?

Personally (because all the best statements start with 'personally I think'), I think that if people want to fly then they want to fly. You can't sit there in your wrongness and moan that there's an easy way into the RHS of an airliner - because people pay through the teeth to take that easy way and I can assure you, as I'm finding out every day, these loans are not an 'easy' way into the industry.

In short (and slightly more coherently) - if the industry is only taking low-houred pilots from schemes like eaglejet, or tagged guys from integrated schemes, then who are we to say to these potential pilots 'you shouldn't do that', simply because we didn't want to borrow that kind of money or take that kind of risk?
