Well, the company I WORK for refuses to hire anybody with a P2F history
Bad decisionmaking, lack of long-term view and maturity and a simple disregard for the value and responsability of being an Airline pilot are but some of the reasons why.
makes sense
... "real pilots" are given jobs because of their Top Gun quality... fake pilots just pay with their credit card and are instantly put on the line with a baby sitter...
P2F is becoming more and more the normal way how to get in to this industry. It is not a shortcut like a lot of people seems to be thinking.
Yes it is ruining the chances for us established pilots to find employment but we what have to be real about it. The conditions I got hired under is something the young pilots at my local flying club can only dream of. They have no TR, no time on time, no experience. Even a personal recommendation would not help them. They are just an expense for the company. So I don't blame pilots who do P2F programs. How else are they gonna get the experience?
There are just to many pilots out there looking for a job
