airlines require 500 hours minimum on type, I don't have a problem with a pilot paying the required fee's to obtain 500 hours.

we all paid for our intial training, how is this so drastically different?

An aspiring pilot who is willing to invest in this shows me sheer dedication to the profession and enthusiasm.

Chamchower - eagle jet international based out of miami use to offer line training with Lion air in Jakarta, but they have stopped now due to a new regualtion by the CAA requiring 250 hours on type.

Skies aviation in UAE use to offer line training with Armavia but this has since stopped. also I think they were contracted to hire 6 cadets for a local charter company but these have since been filled, I work at DXB and have chatted to a few of them.

I am fairly sure they were the only 2 serious companys doing it.

don't worry about the negative comments on here, if you mention this site to any professional pilots they will grin and tell you they dont use it, well at least thats my experince
