Accept that we are collectively responsible and move on...
Many of the pilot workforce need to accept responsibility which apparently isn't happening here.
But we should not just move on!
If we do what happens next? Pay for training for upgrade(with the result that many of these poor indebted loco pilots won't afford it, and only the rich become captains)
Pay for all subsequent ratings at airlines they aim for in the desert?
Do people want this nonsense spread into other industries? There is an over-supply of workers in many industries.
Do you want you or your children taught by the teacher who paid a school for their first job out of college?
Operated on by the richest intern surgeon?
Have your car serviced by the guy who paid the garage for a job?
Your medicine quality tested by the microbiologist who stumped up the cash to a pharmaceutical company?
Airspace defended by the guy paying for a Eurofighter rating?
Fight along side someone whose parents paid for their SA80 rating?
**** no you wouldn't!!
Its our responsibility to stop it and remove them.
Type "paying for a job" into Google. The first result is: "Should I Pay For Job Listings?" and paying for work in the aviation sense isn't even found.
Other professionals even think paying 30 dollars to advertise their CV is questionable, not to mind paying 30k to pass an interview.
Supporting these people is a loss for everyone.
