Pilotchute- no matter what route you take it will never be easy to get 'meaningful employment', we know that! However if I am at lion air on a pay to fly scheme or I am on a flexicrew contract at easy I will be very happy because I am building experience on big jets. It's a lot better than having no work at all!
Are you saying to go modular? A modular student would do very well just to find a pay to fly scheme at lion air!
There is no flight school in the world that doesn't want to 'make profit'
