Well Mr.BeCareful,
let's talk math now.
First Option
Flight Instructor-----cost 8k€
Salary------7€/hr
Flight time-----300hrs/year
End result: takes me almost 4 years to repay rating cost, I got 1200 SE flight time with guys on my left side trying to kill me while flying in 40 yr old a/c
Second option
TR-----20k€
"line training"-----25k€
Additional cost---5k€
Flight time-----1200hrs/yr
Salary----16 months x 4000$ = 64k$
End result: in two years I'll have more than 2000hrs flight time on 737 and my debt will be almost payed
Who knows, maybe we wouldn't be here in this situation if most of pilots didn't go to fancy overpriced integrated courses at CTC/Oxford thinking they would be ahead of modular guys. I think that was where P2F was born, paying 100k€ and more for less than 200hrs TT only because FTO had connections with airlines
