Hi pilotchute, well I am not going to start the topic on whether p2f is good or not as done by many other thread.
I have been jobless for quite a long time and if I dont start flying and collecting hours, the risk and money lost is far greater. I my as well burn my euro 70k CPL license as well as my type rating cost up.
Before this I have send my resume to almost 50 companies round the world with no reply or the usual "we only take our own citizens".
Plus is not that I am working for free as all in plus allowance,i can get + - USD40,000 per year to recover back my investment cost. Even in the states, fresh pilots in regional get paid much lower than that.
Finally I always believe in the phrase " you scratch my back I scratch yours ", if they can help me start my career, they deserve something in return as there are no free lunch in this world.
cessna95 : I am looking at Hotel aston or Amaris as they are pretty cheap and located in central jakarta.
