CPL/IR training is a waste of energy and money for many persons.
The "make your dream come true" sometime becomes a real horror story.
What is hapening is pathetic.
That's like a lawyer renting a complete court and judge to stay current with the hope to find a job.
Or a surgeron finishing his training and renting the hospital to practice in order to have more chance to get a position.
It started in the 90s, and it's getting worse and worse (MCC, then TR, now pay to work...).
Something has to be done. More information has to be given to the future potential candidates.
The only way to go: no debts, basic CPL, and vfr single job somewhere on earth. Have a blast. Fly, enjoy, don't participate the jet rat race, the best decision you can make nowadays.
Good luck anyway.
