Expensive!?!? a CPL + Type will cost almost the same! isnt it? Moreover, one gets paid during the initialy training and the rating...not a bad deal if you ask me....
btw, LCC are the ones making money, paying employees/AAI/Oil companies/others on time! most of the LCCs in India are well run airlines....dunno how they are degrading the industry.....most immature comments I have seen on the forum.....
cheers,
