pudoc - I dont preach P2F, I was looking through a lot of threads of people distrote, angry and had lost a lot of money and given up hope, some saying ive been waiting up to 5-6 years and no sniff of a job interview.
it would seem these guys would have perhaps had employment by now if they had P2F. so the message P2F or get out was valid, some people don't see my point of view, but perhaps they dont care for new pilots getting in to avaition.
I am fortunate to be able to work for family, but that is the only reason I trained in the 1st place, I had a good job before I left for Australia, however I have learned more about this industry on PPRUNE than anywhere else and my thoughts on this thread are a collection of what I have read over a few months.
